Event Detail Information

Signed in 1960 amidst public resentment that erupted in massive popular demonstrations, ANPO refers to the U.S.-Japan Mutual Security Treaty, which permits the continued presence of numerous U.S. military bases in Japan today. ANPO: Art x War reveals the story of resistance to these U.S. military bases through the lens of Japanese artists, by way of interviews and a collage of their extraordinary large scale paintings, drawings, photographs, anime, and films, some of which have long been hidden from public view.
