Launched in the summer of 2020, the “Meet the Artists” workshops give participants the opportunity to engage in art-based activities alongside artists and curators. For this workshop, Roppongi Crossing 2022: Coming and Going exhibition-featured artist Han Ishu will lead a one-off art class.
After hearing about Han’s art practice to date, participants will undertake some artmaking of their own, based on a particular theme, in an art class that may turn out to be a little different to what they imagined...
Don’t miss this chance to dive a little deeper into the world of art, courtesy of some face-to-face conversation with a working artist.
- Artist’s Message to Participants
- Where does the “beauty” of the realm manifested by using the body to draw lines and apply color come from?

Han Ishu
Born 1987 in Shanghai; lives in Tokyo. Earned his master’s degree in 2012 from the Tokyo University of the Arts, Department of Intermedia Art. Han presents works employing a range of media including video, performance, installations, photography and painting to contemplate identity and otherness mediated by communities and individuals. Blending occasional humor, he candidly expresses the doubt and confusion that can arise in relationships between society and individuals, based on his own perspective acquired by moving from Shanghai to Aomori as a child. Recent exhibitions include Aichi Triennale 2022, Countermeasures Against Awkward Discourses: From the Perspective of Third Wave Feminism (21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, 2021), MOT Annual 2021: A sea, A living room and a skull (Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo), and Thank You Memory: From Cidre to Contemporary Art (Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, 2020).
