Roppongi Crossing 2025

Organized by the Mori Art Museum every three years since 2004, the Roppongi Crossing exhibitions provide a snapshot of the Japanese art scene at that particular moment in time. Mori Art Museum curators join with guest curators to plan each exhibition, and this intersection of multiple viewpoints leads to a diverse lineup of Japanese artists from seasoned international veterans to promising young newcomers. Another distinguishing feature of the series is the Mori Art Museum’s commitment to presenting a “crossing” of creative endeavor by showcasing not only contemporary art but work by creators in other genres including architecture, fashion, and design.

For this eighth Roppongi Crossing, the Mori Art Museum will collaborate with Asia-based, globally-active curators to survey the current state of contemporary Japanese art from an international perspective. In today’s world, the conflict and division confronting us in so many quarters, despite multicultural progress, impacts the activities of artists too: changing what they do and generating new types of expression. Roppongi Crossing 2025 will once again examine art in Japan as it is right now, and its significance within a broader context.
