Mika Shimauchi solo exhibition "Wormhole" November 23rd (Sat) - December 8th (Sun)

Oct 29, 2024

From Saturday, November 23rd to Sunday, December 8th, Cignitta will be holding "Wormhole," a solo exhibition by Kyushu-based artist Mika Shimauchi.

Having experienced epidemics and major earthquakes, the masks and the Shimauchi pay attention to local festivals and folk customs, and discover unique connections to other worlds, the underworld, and the universe there. In reality, the countryside welcomes foreign cultures, and the mix of fantasy and humor is likened to a "wormhole." Please take a look.
