We are delighted to announce the beginning of the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Artist in Residence Program 2025!
Md. Fazla Rabbi Fatiq (Bangladesh), Willie Xaiwouth (Laos), and Baba Saori (Fukuoka) will be staying in Fukuoka for approximately three months, as the invited artists to join the first period of the program, which starts from July.
The three artists will each give a presentation of their previous works and outline their plans for new projects in Fukuoka.
Moreover, we are having a small print workshop* after the talk, during which each participant is invited to screen print on a tote bag with a design incorporating words from the languages of each artist. We look forward to welcoming you all!

*Please come in with your clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty with ink.

Fee	Free admission for the talk. 200 yen (materials fee) for those participating the workshop. *You can bring your own tote bag or T shirt (1 item) from home, which would save your participation fee.
Number of Participants	50 people
