Theresa Hak Kyung Cha explored the question of identity that is constantly created and reshaped in between nations and languages. The works of these artists raise questions about the myth of a singular identity. What about our own positionality? Are we protected by the national borders of this island country? Do these borders define us or give us stability and security? Japanese women artists respond to these questions, each with her own form of artistic expression. The audience is invited to participatethrough viewing the works and joining in the workshop. We hope this show will create opportunities for an open dialogue based onrespect for diverse cultures, perspectives and ideas.
