LITTLE ARTISTS LEAGUE, a global art team that works on diversity art, held a new exhibition "INVISIBLE MUSEUM: Searching for something invisible and important" at Zou-no-hana Terrace, Yokohama from Wednesday, February 15 to Tuesday February 21, 2023.
Based on the theme of "INVISIBLE MUSEUM: something invisible and important", which was conceived from a workshop with blind and hard-of-sight children, this event features hands-on exhibitions that can be enjoyed not only by sight but also by hearing and smell.
INVISIBLE MUSEUM is a project by the global art team LITTLE ARTISTS LEAGUE that solves social issues with art. Since its launch in 2016, LITTLE ARTISTS LEAGUE has visualized many invisible things (darkness, dreams, kindness, etc.) through art.

The theme of the exhibition is "INVISIBLE MUSEUM: Searching for Something Invisible and Important" which was inspired by a workshop with blind and visually impaired children.

About Third Exhibit (Jan 18-26, 2025)
An experiential art exhibition that asks, "What is important and invisible?"
LITTLE ARTISTS LEAGUE, a global art team that solves social issues through art, will hold their third experiential exhibition and related event with the theme "INVISIBLE MUSEUM - Something Important That Is Invisible," inspired by their involvement with children who are blind or visually impaired. The exhibition will feature live performances by blind singers and gospel performers, and visitors will receive a gift of "INVISIBLE CANDY, made from seaweed so small it is invisible." We look forward to your visit.
"Color to Sound System" was developed by LITTLE ARTISTS LEAGUE and aeroidio (Sam Wells & Adam Vidiksis) after appreciating art with a blind person. In a previous exhibition, we invited attendants from Dialogue in the Dark to try "appreciating art with a blind person". When they touched the artworks and explained what kind of flowers they were, they thought, "You can't tell the color just by touching them, so I wish we could convert the color into sound." We asked people to help us develop the system, and created it. In LITTLE ARTISTS LEAGUE workshops, people exclaim in admiration when their artworks make sound. The joy of hearing sound come from one's own artwork brings great joy not only to the visually impaired, but also to the general public, and is a major axis of LITTLE ARTISTS LEAGUE's diversity art. The system will be available for use in this exhibition. Cooperation: aeroidio (Sam Wells & Adam Vidiksis)
