Portraits of Feminism in Japan Exhibit Celebration & Artists' Roundtable

Celebrate the artists in our current exhibit, Portraits of Feminism in Japan, on Wednesday, March 22nd with a reception and roundtable conversation.

Reception (in person): 6:00 - 7:00 pm ET, Lane Hall Exhibit Space

Artists’ Roundtable (hybrid): 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. ET in Lane Hall 2239 or on Zoom

About the exhibit:

The exhibit features original works by nine incredible contemporary artists. The involved artists are U-M students, local artists, and artists based in Japan, all of whom are nominated by members of our community. 

This exhibit presents portraits of eight feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. The portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of "feminism" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences, needs, and activism within Japan. This exhibit will also spotlight the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. 

Portraits of Feminism in Japan will run through 12 May 2023. The exhibit space is located on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 South State Street) through the main entryway. The exhibit is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.

This event is presented by the Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG), the Center for Japanese Studies, the Department of Women's & Gender Studies, and the Center for the Education of Women+ (CEW+).
