4 Events in NY with Mao Ishikawa, an Okinawan photographer
Tuesday, March 28; Friday, March 31; Saturday, April 1 + March 30 – April 2

Mao Ishikawa is an internationally renowned photographer who is visiting New York to celebrate the publication of her new photo book “Red Flower The Women of Okinawa” by Session Press and to participate in the “Photography Show, 2017” held by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). During her stay several events featuring her will be held in New York.
Mao Ishikawa identifies strongly as an Okinawan photographer. Her first project, “Hot Days in Camp Hansen,” documented young women who worked in bars that catered to American soldiers, particularly focusing on African-Americans, Her current, ongoing project, “Dai-Ryukyu Shashin Emaki” (The Great Ryukyu Photo Picture Scroll), features photos that theatrically represent an important historical scene in Okinawa, from the times of the Ryukyu Kingdom to today. In the course of her career, her challenging and sometimes controversial work is based on sharp insight, profound love, human sympathy and sometimes a wild sense of humor. Mao has made a strong impact with her direct and brave approach to the harsh reality, engaging a wide range of enthusiastic admirers.

Mao Ishikawa is a unique and extraordinary artistic visionary for the people of Okinawa. With her blend of artistry, humor and a global vision, this is a unique opportunity to spend some time with her work, and with this remarkable woman. The 4 events with Mao in NY will be as follows.
