Naho Matsuda

Naho’s practice is socially engaged and situated, often involving local people, public places or nature in the environment. Naho investigates and constructs alternative narratives of social and cultural structures and is interested in the blurring boundaries of language and the technologies we use to communicate.

Naho works with installations, graphics and print, as well as drawings, videos and performances.
