About WAH Bridges Self:

WAH Bridges Self is a multi-media group exhibition dedicated to presenting the work of artists seeking to express, define, and complicate the notion of self-expression. Based on the Bridge Concept envisioned by WAH Center Founder & Artistic Director, Yuko Nii, the aim is to create a bridge between the WAH Center and the chosen artists’ self-expression, and through the works shown, to create a bridge between the artists themselves. These works explore the myriad ways in which artists use their work to express interiority and the methods through which they define and represent themselves. WAH Bridges Self is an open deliberation considering the nature of how we use art to represent ourselves and how creative process defines or shapes our self-perception.

In late October 1996, Yuko Nii founded the not-for-profit WAH Center (Williamsburg Art & Historical Center) based upon her Bridge Concept. That concept envisions a multifaceted, multicultural art center whose mission is to coalesce the diverse artistic community, and create a bridge between local, national and international artists, emerging and established artists, and artists of all disciplines. Thus, through the internatinal language of art we come to understand each other to create a more peaceful and integrated world. The WAH Center is a force for peace and understanding and its concept is incorporated in its acronym: “WAH” in Japanese means “peace” or “harmony” or “unity”.
