Yoshiko Shimada + BuBu de la Madeleine, ‘Made in Occupied Japan’, 1998

Organised into thematic sections, Kaihō: Japanese Women Artists after 1945, provides an insight into dynamic cultural exchanges and the forgotten margins of modernism. Drawing from the artists’ personal lives, creative resilience and transnational activism, the exhibition brings together works by Atsuko Tanaka, Yayoi Kusama, Yoko Ono, Fujiko Nakaya, Tomie Ohtake, Taeko Tomiyama and Yoshiko Shimada, among many others – some of which have rarely, if ever, been shown outside of Japan. From Gutai to experiments in video art, Kaihō explores the radical yet often overlooked contributions of women artists from Japan to global postwar art movements.

Discover the exhibition through the lens of assistant curator Anaël Daoud.
