VOICES FROM JAPAN: Despair and Hope from Disaster is an exhibition that shares the extraordinary experience of the Japanese people following the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011.<\/p>\n

Opening Reception<\/p>\n

There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 14, at 6:00 PM at the Cathedral. Two poets from Japan will be among the guests.<\/p>\n

VOICES FROM JAPAN will showcase:
\nPoems of Survival<\/p>\n

A collection of tanka poems, written by ordinary Japanese people in response to the disasters of March 2011, profoundly reveals the hearts of individuals facing great loss.<\/p>\n

Seventy-five poems have been assembled and translated into English for this project; thirty-one of them have been selected for display. All the poems are presented as an anthology in the exhibition’s catalogue booklet.
\nPortraits of Hope<\/p>\n

Japanese-born artist Naoto Nakagawa traveled to Japan from New York after the earthquake, creating 1,000 portraits of people of all ages and walks of life. One hundred selected portraits will be exhibited.<\/p>\n

[New!] Painter Naoto Nakagawa has completed his 1000th portrait on June 2nd in Iwate, Japan. Congratulations, Naoto!
\nCollages of Damaged Photographs<\/p>\n

Photographers and photo restorers Yoshihito and Saori Sasaguchi composed two painfully unforgettable collages of damaged family photographs.
\nImages from Tohoku<\/p>\n

Tragic but beautiful new photos by New York photographer Magdalena Sol\u00e9 sensitively portray the affected Tohoku region.<\/p>\n

Video Producer Joseph Krakora will also contribute his recent video based on the concept of Voices from Japan. This moving film introduces Magdalena’s photographs and the tanka poems recited in English translation.<\/p>\n
