Photo Exhibition by Mai Nakama
We are pleased to present a photo exhibition by Yamaguchi-born photographer Mai Nakama from October 24th to November 2nd. Here is her message to all interested: “I am a Japanese photographer. I have taken photos all over Japan. I would be happy to introduce the scenery, people and experiences I have seen in Japan through my photos.

Salt on July 27
Ink splashes on the note in the trash can. When you stare at it, it feels like you are looking directly at something. Who is there? Why am I there now? The trash, thrown away in a disordered manner.

Our Upcoming Events
We have recently received many inquiries about upcoming events, some of which mentioned that not everyone uses social media. Therefore, we have decided to post the events for the next few weeks on our website. However, we cannot always guarantee the accuracy and may not always be able to update this list regularly. You can find everything under: Events / Preview in the menu. We are working on a less time-consuming solution to keep you informed nonetheless. 🙂
Small Update
Our website has received little attention in recent years. The reason for this is nothing special; it simply fell down our list of priorities.

This naturally requires a balancing of effort and benefit. What is certain, however, is that we will soon publish an introduction to our partner projects in Tbilisi (Georgia) and Onomichi (Japan) here. In addition, we will now update the content of the subpages.
