Profile
FUJISHIRO was born in 1974 in Tochigi Prefecture. She graduated from the Education Faculty of Saitama University and currently resides in Fukushima Prefecture. After participating in “Zero-go Exhibition” at Tokyo Wonder Site and Spiral Independent Creators Festival, she held a solo exhibition at Gallery ROCKET (2010), conducted an open studio at 3331 Arts Chiyoda (2010-2011) and exhibited at events such as the Nishinomiya Funasaka Biennale (2012), Art Point Iwaki “Gen-gen-ten” (2014, 2015) and Route D’Argent Art Festival in Ikuno (2014). Fujishiro was living in the Fukushima Prefecture city of Iwaki when the Great East Japan Earthquake and nuclear crisis struck, and she soon started the “PRAY+LIFE” project, aimed at listening to the stories of the Fukushima people and recording their faces and thoughts. She was also involved in launching the “Future Meeting” sessions, aimed at creating a forum for cross-disciplinary dialogue.
