【Osaka】The 29th Nakanoshima Video Art Theater "Wars and Images"

The 29th Nakanoshima Video Art Theater, titled "Wars and Images," will be held at the National Museum of Art, Osaka. This program was planned with an awareness of the role museums play as memory devices in the production, presentation, preservation, and critique of images directly linked to identity politics. It draws inspiration from exhibitions exploring post-war memory, such as the Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art's exhibition focusing on war record paintings returned from the US. Part 1 features the work of Fumio Kamei, including his Sino-Japanese War trilogy, accompanied by a lecture. Part 2 consists of contemporary art pieces dealing with war mediated by media, reflecting 21st-century visual culture. The event is scheduled for March 15, 2026, with separate sessions for Part 1 and Part 2, and admission is free.
