ARTISTS
Ayaka Ura
Born in Kanagawa prefecture in 1992. Graduated from the
Department of Painting at Musashino Art University in 2015.
Ura’s aim is to create artwork that serves as a device for
inverting or blending disparate things. She has created a number
of participatory performance pieces that were achieved in
collaboration with her audience. Ura is also involved in
exhibitions and event planning as one of the vehicles for her
work.
