The Hafu Project is a visual and sociological study & representation of the so-called “Hafu”s.
This is the first public exhibition in Japan.
The work provides an unfolding journey of discovery into the intricacies of what it is to be a hafu in modern day Japan
as well as on a global scale in a time where culture, nationhood and identity are increasingly fluid.

Public lecture "Nibun-no-ni (Two out of two)" vol 2
13 August (Fri) 19:00 – 22:00

Booking not necessary
This public lecture explores the complex
nature of the identities and experiences of
hafus.
The first part focuses on the making of
the project and themes derived from the
interviews.
In the second half we are inviting
a guest speaker, also a hafu, to provide a
valuable opportunity to explore the ways
in which ethnic territory and identity are
actually negotiated and defined.

Love, that is, regardless of human development, an enteral theme in our lives.
No matter where you are from, we desire to to love and to be loved.
As we undergo changes, society diversifies and so as relationships.
This time around we are focusing on international marraige. We are inviting a couple of relationship counsellors to talk about the ways in which relationships are established and maintained in Japan and elsewhere.
There is also a brief workshop, which focuses on how we can improve our relationships with others. Come and join us to this love event and start connecting!
