Hidemi Takagi

Hidemi Takagi was born in Kyoto prefecture, Japan, and has been living in New York since 1997. Takagi has exhibited both nationally and internationally. Her notable selected exhibitions include the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Queens Museum, BRIC Media Art Center, White Columns, and the Nathan Cummings Foundation. Takagi has been awarded numerous fellowships and accepted in artist residencies (including New Media Art Fellowship at BRIC, En Foco Photography fellowship, AIM Program at The Bronx Museum, LMCC swing space, KODA Artist Residency: Identity + Justice and Bandung Residency at The Asian American Arts Alliance and The Museum of Contemporary Diasporan Arts, and many more.) Her Blender project was selected for the Times Square Public Arts in 2011.

With a strong history of working with various immigrant and marginalized communities, Takagi is a community-based visual artist and social practitioner. As an immigrant from Japan, with a Haitian husband and bi-racial daughter raised in Brooklyn, she is interested in the mixing of those history and local culture. Since 2015, she has worked on community engaged projects in her neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant. She has worked in barbershops, with seniors, and directly on her stoop—all spotlighting and working with the people who live in her community to create an experience that reflects the joy, color, and life of the neighborhood.
