[Tokyo/Roppongi] A little-known hidden art exhibition

Tokyo 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Roppongi
Mori Art Museum /
Theaster Gates Exhibition Afro Mingei

Theaster Gates Exhibition Afro Mingei is being held at the Mori Art Museum until Sunday, September 1st

History, sculpture, art, and many other aspects, but there are many genres, so I think anyone can enjoy it 🥹🥹←Miscellaneous
I went with almost no prior knowledge, but it was more interesting than I expected, and before I knew it, two hours had passed 🤔

Theaster Gates, a black artist who has attracted worldwide attention, is highly regarded for his work that crosses media and genres, including sculpture and ceramics, architecture, music, performance, fashion, and design.

In fact, in his 20s For over 200 years, black artists have been influenced by Japanese culture, including ceramics, and have deep ties to Japan.

It is made up of five chapters, and the sound installation using a church organ is performed irregularly, so if you're lucky, you can hear the actual sound🎶🎼

The "Black Library," which fills the walls of the exhibition room with bookshelves, is filled with thousands of books on black art, history, and culture, and some of the books can be freely browsed📚

The museum is 230 meters above ground, so the view was great◎
