Feminist art group brings first solo exhibit to the U.S.


Tomorrow Girls Troop, a feminist artist group that has been globally promoting feminism in Japan and East Asia through art, will present their first solo exhibition in the United States, “We Can Do It!,” at the New Jersey City University (NJCU) Visual Arts Gallery from Thursday, Nov. 14, through Wednesday, Dec. 18.

“We Can Do It!“ explores themes and issues such as the amendment of sexual assault criminal laws; the definition of feminism in the Kojien, a Japanese dictionary; issues surrounding “comfort women” and transgender rights.

The exhibit will also be a part of the next edition of JCFridays, Jersey City’s seasonal arts festival presented by Art House Productions, on Friday, Dec. 6, from 3 to 7 p.m.

Tomorrow Girls Troop was founded in 2015. Their art confronts complex and often shunned topics such as law, discrimination and historical issues, garnering attention from the international art world as well as from scholarly institutions.

The artwork of Tomorrow Girls Troop has been featured in television programs, newspapers, magazines, academic journals and documentaries across Europe and Asia. The group has also been invited for lectures at the University of Tokyo, Oxford University, UCLA and numerous universities across Japan, the U.S. and Europe.

The exhibits will be held at the Visual Arts Building Gallery, located at 100 Culver Ave., Jersey City.

Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m., and by appointment by emailing [email protected]. Admission is free.
