Making Space On space Un and artistic exchanges between Japan and Africa

space Un is a Tokyo-based gallery that promotes and exhibits contemporary art by artists from Africa and the African diaspora. The gallery was founded by Edna Dumas, a French Cameroonian who first lived in Japan as a university student in the 1990s, and is cofounded by Japanese artist and actor Yuta Nakano. space Un invites four residents each year to explore Japan’s rich heritage and search for common ground and cultural sensibilities that may influence the work they make there. At the end of the residency, they are given the opportunity to exhibit at the gallery in Tokyo.
