2023 • YouTube & Podcasts
Three amazing artists with different styles and from various backgrounds joined together for a fabulous show in Hiroshima. Ava Grauls (Belgian / South African), Makiko Shimizu Harris (Japanese / American), and Megumi Ohata (Japanese / mix Korean) joined forces to "explore the theme of macro and micro boundaries in relation to their own cultural experiences of crossing over land and living within their own skin."
Ava Grauls, Megumi Ohata and Makiko Shimizu Harris met at the Royal College of Art, London. Their mutual interest in creating work around the diaspora fueled their artist collective towards the Edge exhibition in Hiroshima City. These artists want to bring their artistic expression of what it means to live within and across boundaries at both the intimate level of our bodies and the larger context of territory.
