■Md. Fazla Rabbi Fatiq
Residency Period｜2025.7/8-10/2
Born in 1995 in Cumilla, Bangladesh. Lives and works in Cumilla. Through photography, Fatiq quietly renders socio-political issues and the forgotten history of Bangladesh. In this exhibition, his works focus on the theme of food that reflects the values of different households and communities while being under the significant influence of contemporary and global contexts. Through this theme, his work reconsiders our “life” in Bangladesh and Japan, spanning from the past to the present.
■Willie Xaiwouth
Residency Period｜2025.7/8-10/2
Born in 2001 in Saiyabouli Province, Laos. Lives and works in Vientiane. Xaiwouth works across painting, photography, and installation that delves into the memory of local communities, environmental issues, and people’s identity. In Fukuoka, he conducted research on bamboo trees, which are also commonly used in Laos, together with their extended use in technical and cultural contexts. The outcome of his research is expected to become an installation piece embodying the shape of a spinning lantern.
