The Hafu Project

The Hafu Project

We would like to invite you to The Hafu Project's first exhibition in Japan!

 

The Hafu Project is a visual and sociological study & representation of the so-called “hafu”s. 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.

We are also running a public talk at 3331 on:
13 August (Sat) 19:00 – 22:00

 

This public event 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.
