New Rituals
Supported by: Asociación Peruano Japonesa. Presented in II Salon de Arte Nikkei. Galeria de la Asociación Peruano Japonesa (PE) & Instituto Cervantes Tokyo (JP)
Exhibition pieces
The second edition of the art salon brings together proposals that reflect on identity, art, and technology. As a collective of Peruvian artists of Japanese descent, we engaged in an ongoing dialogue—merging our individual practices with these themes through group feedback and shared exploration, culminating in the final exhibition.
For my part, I chose the teapot as a conceptual anchor, drawing inspiration from the traditional Japanese tea ceremony: a ritual that invites presence and appreciation of the here and now.
Adapting the shape of the container to the function of containing and serving was the added proposal since all the pieces are functioning teapots. With this project, I seek to contrast both rituals: those of before and those of now; questioning the existence of that brief enjoyment in our times.
