I think Marcia and Natalie are a couple of people facilitating some really productive discussion about being intercultural. There are some very strong, intelligent voices in this conversation.
I was photographed for the project. The next photo exhibition will be held in 2010, but there is a talk and party on September 19th in Omotesando.
What a great idea and such beautiful pics. I'm curious about this since my kids will be "hafu" ....
ReplyDeleteThanks Meg. They didn't take any pictures of kids under 18 - for obvious reasons. But there were some parents I met when I went, who had some interesting opinions. Actually I think the photography studio they used was owned by a mixed couple.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, are you expecting now, or just planning? (^^)
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is hafu(?) (Japanese/Catalan/Spanish/English) (it's a complicated story...) - her partner is hafu (English/Japanese) - they live in Kyoto so may be out of the reach of this project? They are raising a child in Kyoto... she has many thoughts on identity...
ReplyDeleteI am quarter Catalan - my partner is English .. but we are both encultured hafu Japanese... She says she grew up in Niigata.. and I say I grew up in Kobe...

Hi Oliver!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by. Yes, I think they're finished shooting for now, but they have had events in Osaka. They also have a group on Facebook and hold discussions online if you or your cousin is interested.
