Capturing the Current State of Feminist Art in Japan

Tokyo, Japan - Tomorrow Girls Troop, a feminist artist group that has been globally promoting feminism in Japan and East Asia through art, is thrilled to announce their first solo exhibition in Japan. Titled "We Can Do It!," this exhibition delves into a diverse range of themes, including the amendment of Sexual assault criminal laws, the definition of feminism in the Kojien, a Japanese dictionary, issues surrounding "comfort women" and transgender rights. Tomorrow Girls Troop's art confronts complex and often shunned topics such as law, discrimination, and historical issues, garnering attention not only from the international art world but also academia. 
Their artwork has been featured in television programs, newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and documentaries across Europe and Asia. The offers for lectures have been pouring in to Tomorrow Girls Troop from renowned institutions such as the University of Tokyo, Oxford University, UCLA, and numerous universities across Japan, the United States, and Europe. While they have participated in numerous exhibitions, as they prepare for their first-ever domestic solo exhibition, Tomorrow Girls Troop will showcase an extensive collection spanning nine years since their inception in 2015. We invite you to experience their remarkable artwork firsthand.
