In some situations, people write things on pieces of paper and wood, and raise them in the air. Through this simple action, these placards send a message, raise questions, and even have the power to motivate people.
In 1961, the artist Tabe Mitsuko wrote a text called “For a Placard,” in which she stated that a single placard has the potential to change society. She also expressed the idea, act, and hope of resisting the harsh realities of a society in her artworks.
This exhibition, titled after Tabe’s text, comprises works by seven artists who consider what it means to live with dignity as it relates to their own lives.

Artists:
Tabe Mitsuko, Ushijima Tomoko, Shiga Lieko, Kanagawa Shingo, Tanizawa Sawako, Iiyama Yuki, Sasaoka Yuriko
