RINN / 輪 Ireland & Japan: a dialogue on place and time
Presented in partnership with A Lighthouse called Kanata Gallery, RINN / 輪 Ireland and Japan: a dialogue on making, place and time is the debut exhibition at Ireland House, Tokyo. Inspired by Making In and the connections that have developed between makers from Japan and Ireland, RINN / 輪 is jointly curated by Joseph Walsh and Wahei Aoyama of A Lighthouse called Kanata Gallery. Featuring both new and collaborative works from Irish and Japanese makers in art and architecture, the exhibition will explore the idea of circularity; connections between people, relationship to place; relationship to the past and the future, through material form-finding.
The exhibition will return to Ireland in July 2025 at the Glucksman Gallery in University College Cork, Ireland.

About Ireland House
Overlooking a park in central Tokyo, Ireland House opens in 2025, and will serve as a 3,000 square metre flagship example of the Ireland House concept. This state-of-the art facility will house the Irish Embassy, State Agencies, the official residence, as well as an exhibition and performance area and library, serving as a vibrant hub for creative dialogue.
The new Ireland House will be a showcase, state-of-the-art platform from which Team Ireland in Japan will be able to project and promote what Ireland has to offer and to mark Ireland’s commitment to its long-standing and ever-strengthening relationship with Japan. It is designed to act as a beacon for business, diplomacy, culture and community.
Making In is a non-profit cultural programme enabled by a global community's generous time and shared passion for making.
