I'm So Happy You Are Here: Japanese Women Photographers from the 1950s to Now

0 upcoming performances in New York

At the International Center of Photography in New York, “I’m So Happy You Are Here” traces Japanese women’s photography from the 1950s to the present, across postwar life, street observation, family, and self-invention. The exhibition places well-known figures alongside artists long sidelined by institutions, making the archive feel newly contested. In a city where ICP has helped shape the public language of documentary and contemporary image-making, the show reads as a corrective to who gets counted in photographic history. Its most persuasive argument is quiet: influence can be broad even when credit is withheld.
