About the Exhibition
Celebrating 65 years of the Portland and Sapporo Sister City relationship, Vision of Place welcomes the work of a local Portland photographer and Hokkaido-based photographers to showcase the beauty of Japan’s northernmost prefecture, Hokkaido.
Shashin: Photographic Frontiers of Hokkaido
In the Pavilion Gallery, we’ve invited The North Finder. This Hokkaido-based group of photographers’ mission to “raise the image of Hokkaido through photography and help people to know Hokkaido more deeply” to share their perspective of Sapporo (capital of Hokkaido). The show exhibits the work of 23 photographers that capture the diversity of natural environments, distinctive seasons, and notable sites of Portland’s sister city from the perspective of the people who live there.
Quiet Reflections of Hokkaido Winter: Photography by Sandra Chandler
In the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center’s Calvin and Mayho Tanabe Gallery is an exhibition of local artist Sandra Chandler, connecting the perspective of Hokkaido with Portland. This exhibition showcases the essence of the serene winter landscape of Japan’s northernmost island.
