In popular imagination, Christmas symbolizes reunion, warmth, and a sense of belonging. Yet for many in the LGBTQ community, the holiday often brings invisible pressures—questions about marriage, partners, and the future arise precisely at these moments when happiness is “supposed” to be the norm, making the act of returning home feel less comforting. But a holiday should not make anyone feel lonely or compelled to hide who they are.
To address this, we are holding a group exhibition from December 23 to 28, 2025, offering a space where people can be themselves freely, without explanation, and feel at ease—creating moments of warmth uniquely their own during the winter season.
The exhibition features three artists from diverse backgrounds: Lin Jaihang, a Taiwanese artist who has appeared on the reality show Boys Like Boys, explores traces of body, emotion, and identity through video and artist books. Pedro Nekoi, a Brazilian graphic designer and visual artist based in Tokyo, juxtaposes digital and physical materials to construct a visual world hovering between fantasy and reality. Stitchguy, an embroidery artist living in Tokyo, uses textiles and stitching to depict bodies, relationships, and intimacy, transforming softness into a powerful mode of expression. Though their mediums differ, all three engage with common themes: self-identity, intimacy, gaze, and existence, each presenting a distinct style and voice.
The exhibition offers a meaningful refuge for those who feel disconnected from traditional family life at Christmas—a place where one can pause, feel safe, and simply be.
