Kyotographie at Japan House then dinner/drinks

A journey through memory, identity, and the power of photography.

🏯 This Saturday we’re heading to Japan House London to explore a fascinating exhibition featuring two of Japan’s most celebrated contemporary photographers, Kawada Kikuji and Iwane Ai.

🎫 **Admission is free but booking is recommended so please book your ticket for this Saturday 6th June at 5.30pm. **

You can book your ticket and view more information about the exhibit here.

We will meet at Kensington High Street station at 5pm and will wait 10-15mins for people to arrive then head to Japan House.

📷 Through striking and thought-provoking images, the exhibition explores themes of history, migration, folklore, and human resilience - from reflections on post-war Japan to the lives of Japanese communities in Hawaii and dreamlike scenes inspired by Japanese traditions.

We’ll spend about 1 hour exploring the exhibition and browsing Japan House’s cultural displays and shop. Expect an inspiring afternoon of photography, storytelling, and conversation in one of London’s most beautifully curated cultural spaces.

Afterwards, if we have a group of 4 or more, we’ll head to a nearby café, restaurant, or bar for some relaxed conversation and to continue the afternoon together.

Everyone welcome.🙂

1. We typically socialise at cafés after the exhibit, nice, independent ones, not chains and not at pubs. If the event is late on a Saturday we go to a nice bar/pub for drinks after. This meetup is inclusive and everyone is welcome to join.
2. If you get there and you’re not sure what to do or where we are, post a comment on here and I will let you know our whereabouts.
3. Once we go in we may separate, feel free to explore the exhibit by yourself, we don’t have to be together. Some people like chatting to others while exploring and other people prefer to be with their own thoughts. You are welcome to express yourself and do what feels mot comfortable.
4. If you are late or if you’ve booked for an earlier or later time don’t worry just go in and you’ll find us inside or at the social afterwards. Keep an eye on the comments as I’ll be posting updates.
