graphite. is pleased to announce a exhibition “Report from Japan”, works of emerging photographers Go Nakamura, Cannna Sasa and video artist Hiroaki Sasa, opening on July 30, 2011. It’s been 4 months….,

What kind of support is really needed in the disaster-stricken area in Japan? This is the report from the experiences at the scenes with real photos and videos images that are barely shared to us in NY.

Talk event starts at 7:00 PM on July 30th & 31st. Q: Is it only for Japanese people? A: Of course NOT! Everyone’s welcome! We will make a speech only in Japanese with a brief English subtitles on the screen. We will also be showing our photographs and films of the stricken area, so we hope that can help you better understand the whole concept.
