Business Overview

The photo exhibition "EMBRACE" by New York photographer Pole Saviano opened at Artspace GalleryF in Asakusa. He has been taking portraits of transgender and non-binary children, teenagers, and adults across the United States and Europe since 2016. I would like many people to see the photo exhibition and experience how many people have different gender identities from the conventional perception across countries, cultures and generations.

Profile

[Gallery F Asakusa]
The earthen storehouse built in Keio 4 at the end of the Edo period was restored and opened as an art space in 1997. The building, which survived the Great Kanto Earthquake, the Great Tokyo Air Raids, and urban redevelopment after the war, has been preserved and used to hold exhibitions and concerts by artists from Japan and overseas. In 1998, it was registered as a national tangible cultural property.
