Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto is celebrating 10th anniversary on 12th October with the commemorative exhibition: Sky over My Head. The CAMK started as a home for all in 2002. The artworks in this exhibition are concerned about the place/standpoint where I/We live. We encounter borders, differences often outside home and the same time we could find something in common there. The activities and view of artists will bring a feeling of wholeness and harmony like sky over our head.
