Mie Prefectural Art Museum is holding the exhibition which comprehensively studies Asian women artists.
Recently years have seen a drastic change in circumstances surrounding Asian women artists. Since the rapid growth of Asian countries, particularly China and India, in economic development and international politics and the rising consciousness of gender issues in Asian society, the waves of time are bringing about unprecedented structural shifts to the relationship between women and society, as well as between Asia and the rest of the world. Under such conditions, what are the concerns, feelings and perspectives of Asian women artists, and how are they trying to express their subject matters? Through works produced from the 1980s to the present, by women artists who were born and active in Asia including those based abroad, this exhibition shows women's various concerns and diversified expression including their changes.
This exhibition is the first extensive exhibition in Japan, composed of over 130 works of 48 participating artists based on their experiences of social gender roles and positions as females, their awareness of female issues posed by daily life, of their concerns with history, war, and ethnicity, and of current new trends. Taking a look back over the activities of women artists in the last few decades, the exhibition also looks toward the works of the future.
We also hope you will discover the creative and positive possibilities of Asian women artists, which are created by crossing "Asia", "women" and "art" through the exhibition.
