Congratulations to the Asian team of mosaic artists - Mosaic for Afghan Women Project
Our thoughts are with the women of Afghanistan🙏
The Mosaic for Afghan Women project, created by a total of 32 artists from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, has been permanently installed at a prominent educational institution in Japan. The institution held an opening ceremony and we gave a presentation about the work and the project. ✨
To everyone who has supported this project and helped make this installation possible, we—along with all the participating artists—would like to express our sincere gratitude. This mosaic scarf, created by Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese artists, has been installed this spring in a respected educational institution in Japan. ✨
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all those involved: the project initiators, collaborators, artists, and supporters, both domestically and internationally. ✨✨
This work was previously exhibited at “MOSAIC Connections 2022” (Tokyo and Kyoto exhibitions), where it was seen by many people alongside related events. ✨
For the launch of the project and exhibition, we received invaluable support from MOSAIC connections 2022 (Mayumi Tonomura) and Yukobo (Yusuke Miyagawa). We would like to express our deep gratitude once again. ✨
The project began in October 2021, and since then, over 1,300 mosaic artists from 43 countries have created and displayed works in their own regions. These pieces were inspired by traditional textile and embroidery patterns, expressing solidarity and hope for Afghan women and girls to achieve equal rights and opportunities in the future.
We are deeply grateful to stand in solidarity with artists and participants from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and around the world.
Although it may take time for this vision to be fully realized, we are honored that this mosaic scarf will be permanently displayed in an educational setting, allowing these hopes and messages to be passed on to future generations.
Finally, we would like to share the words of South Korean artist Eunsill Lee:
“It is truly meaningful to have this piece installed in a peaceful and secure place.”
