Hiwa Kazuhiko

Born in Osaka, Japan, and curently based there.
Hiwa Kazuhiko uses the wheelchair, his main mode of mobility, as a central element in his sculptures, videos, installations, and performances, revealing the assumptions and power dynamics that shape our social environments. In recent years, he has undertaken the ongoing project “walkingpractice,” which intervenes in public spaces and institutional infrastructures such as roads and cultural facilities, critically reassessing their structural designs and the inequalities embedded within them.
