Female artists, architects, authors, actors, activists, curators, academics and so on – an entire team is in action in Kanojo tachi no, invited by Wendelien van Oldenborgh. This is a dual investigation focusing on two major figures, one literary, the other political, active in Japan in the middle of the last century: Fumiko Hayashi, a feminist author of semi-autobiographical fiction and poems expressing her sense of female solidarity and her homosexuality, and Yuriko Miyamoto, who pursued socialist ideals and worked for the liberation of Japanese women.
