Hafu/Half Japanese Main Page

Current & Future

Our events are designed to create opportunities to instigate fruitful discussions on cultural diversity, identity and 'race' in a profound and thoughtful way.

Typically, our talks are 30-45 minutes long with plenty of images and quotes from interviews, followed by a discussion.
Our exhibition can also be booked, usually for a period of at least one week, with the option of a programme of events.

Please enquire for details.

The Hafu Project is a visual and sociological study & representation of the so-called “Hafu”s.
This is the first public exhibition in Japan.
The work provides an unfolding journey of discovery into the intricacies of what it is to be a hafu in modern day Japan
as well as on a global scale in a time where culture, nationhood and identity are increasingly fluid.

Public lecture "Nibun-no-ni (Two out of two)" vol 2

13 August (Fri) 19:00 – 22:00
Free event
Booking not necessary

This public lecture explores the complex nature of the identities and experiences of hafus.
The first part focuses on the making of the project and themes derived from the interviews.
In the second half we are inviting a guest speaker, also a hafu, to provide a valuable opportunity to explore the ways in which ethnic territory and identity are actually negotiated and defined.
