Hitoshi Toyoda screens his 35mm photographic works capturing trivial dairy scenes in the form of a slide show. During the museum renovation closure, Toyoda visited Hiroshima almost every month between April 2022 to March 2023 to conduct a workshop with the art club students of Ujina Junior High School. This “Visual Diary/Slide Show” will feature the diary-like photographic works taken by the students with their compact film camera and the newly-created work by Toyoda during his time with the students.
