Experience Motherhood In Layers, the second edition of the Life.Nurture.Love.Bloom. art event series curated by photographer Noa Nguyen. In this emotionally rich exhibition, art, identity and the many dimensions of motherhood converge through creative expression and storytelling. You don’t need to be a mother to feel connected — because we all live through shifting roles, emotions, and identites.

What to Expect

Art Exhibition — open all day

Artist Talk — 3pm to 4:30pm (reservation required)

Three remarkable “mother-artists” share their voice:

• Noa Nguyen — A Vietnamese-born photographer based in Tokyo — capturing the raw beauty of motherhood and celebrating the quiet, powerful moments that shape the journey. Through an honest and artistic lens, every frame is a tribute, no matter how big or small. Featured on PhotoVogue

• Asumi Adhikari — Founder of Chiyaba, a specialty tea shop in Nakameguro opened in 2022. Inspired by a 2019 visit to tea farms in the Nepalese Himalayas, she and her Nepalese husband, Kanchan Adhikari, create cultural exchange spaces centered around food and tea, leading the brand with the theme of “creating spaces through tea”.

• Brittni Bell Warshaw — A Tokyo-based abstract painter from Louisiana. In her ongoing series /You are Yours, I am Yours, I am Mine/, she collaborates with her four-year-old daughter to explore the emotions and perspectives of motherhood, portraying the maternal experience with a romantic tone and Renaissance-inspired palettes. In 2024, she won the Paul Smith’s Foundation × Winsor & Newton International Art Prize (Tokyo Division).
