Gainesville, Florida.- The Harn Museum of Art is pleased to present “Soaring Voices: Contemporary Japanese Women Ceramic Artists” featuring 87 works by 25 exceptional female artists who reflect Japan’s rich and innovative ceramic culture. “Soaring Voices” is on view from October 16th through December 31st. For thousands of years, women have been highly active in the production of ceramics. However, their names are seldom spoken of. “Soaring Voices”, featuring 20th and 21st century works, demonstrates the cultural shift in Japanese society toward individualism, where women artists are becoming recognized in an artistic realm traditionally held by men.
