The Kintsugi Spirit - A Virtual Exhibit
Poetically translated to “golden repair,” kintsugi is the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
How can this uniquely Japanese practice be a valuable means to addressing some of the issues we face today? In response to the pandemic, Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC) commissioned five grant recipients of multiple creative disciplines to interpret this question in their own artistic medium. In this process, each artist explored kintsugi as an approach to individual or collective healing, and will showcase their culminating art through a final video.
Ranging from music to dance, visual art to film, we proudly present THE KINTSUGI SPIRIT Virtual Exhibition. We could not be happier with the completed works and are so proud of our participating artists for their thoughtfulness, passion and artistic integrity.
We hope you enjoy, and please spread the word. https://www.jaccc.org/kintsugi
