Exhibition: Hafu / Half Japanese
hafujapanese.org, London, UK
Self-description:
"Vision: This is an ongoing project that creates a dialogue about being in between cultures. By increasing discussions about culture, 'race' and ethnicity we hope to achieve a deeper understanding of these issues. For this reason we [Natalie Maya Willer, Photographer - www.nataliemayawiller.com & Marcia Yumi Lise, Researcher - www.marcialise.com - ed.] actively give public lectures and organise events.
Motivation: 'Our shared interest in half Japanese identity inherently stems from our experience of being in between different cultures. Like many other half Japanese people we have been making an enquiry into our mixed cultural experience. This questioning of our own identity has its roots in our appearance and 'mixed' upbringing as well as how we sit in the racially designated society we live in.'"
