Midori Morrow Artist Talk

Join us for a talk with artist Midori Morrow (MECA MFA ’24) celebrating the window gallery installation Confluence without Witness and exploring the intersection of art and activism. August 9th is the anniversary of the US bombing of Nagasaki. A Peace Memorial Ceremony is held annually on August 9th at the Nagasaki Peace Park in Japan to honor victims of the 1945 atomic bombing and make an international call for nuclear disarmament and abolition.

Midori Morrow is an interdisciplinary artist and nuclear peace activist working in alternative photographic media and textile installation. As a queer Asian American artist, their practice explores the impact of war on the Asian American diaspora, particularly how inherited trauma, displacement, and intergenerational memory shape younger generations. Through themes of softness, empathy, and care, Morrow creates work that reflects on identity, belonging, and the joy of found family and queer connection as sites of healing and resistance. Their installations invite viewers into intimate conversations on community, survival, and what it means to build home beyond traditional structures. Their artistic work runs in tandem with their activism, using visual storytelling as an entry point into the movement for nuclear disarmament. www.midorimorrow.com
