From 22nd November to 11th January Point Culture Liège will be displaying 55 portraits and questions from the Hāfu2Hāfu project.
On Saturday 23rd November, I had the chance to hold another gallery talk. This time, my children and family were able to join too.
Special thanks to Point Culture and Passerelle Japon for organising this event and Sylvain Lintzen and Karina Kimoto for helping me translate all the questions in French.
