For the last several months, we have been collaborating with our friends @atelier_corners in our sister city in Osaka, Japan, exchanging artistic talents through mail.⁠ ⁠ On Friday, May 15th at 6:30PM we are opening our latest show Between Us. The exhibition will include shared pieces that merge distinct visual languages, cultural perspectives, and lived experiences between neurodiverse artists overseas.⁠ ⁠ On the same day in Osaka, Atelier Corners will also be premiering the collaboration at Corners Gallery (1-chōme-6-13 Kyōritsudōri).⁠ ⁠ Come by, say hi, and if you're in Osaka say こんにちは!⁠ ⁠ RSVP with the link in our bio⁠ ⁠ #chicago #osaka #artexchange #sistercities
