Exhibition Reexamines Japanese Women Artists' Role in Global Modernism

An exhibition focused on Japanese women artists presents a revised view of the post-World War II period. The show, titled Kaiho, is scheduled for 2026 at Mudam. It examines how the growth of Japan's technology sector and advances in women's rights reshaped the country's cultural landscape. The presentation argues that these artists were central to the development of global modernism, not peripheral to it. By concentrating on women practitioners, the exhibition challenges established narratives that have often marginalized their contributions. The project is organized by Mudam, the contemporary art museum in Luxembourg. Further details about the participating artists and the specific works on view have not been released.
