MFTA Gallery: “Temporal Belonging” by Natsuki Takauji

Visit the MFTA Gallery for Artist-in-Residence Natsuki Takauji’s latest exhibition, “Temporal Belonging.” Influenced by her visit to cities in her native Japan—Nagasaki, Hiroshima, and Fukushima—where abandoned homes remain eerily frozen in time after nuclear devastation and natural disasters, Takauji brings a keen awareness to the overlooked and forgotten. Through immersive installations and found-object creations, “Temporal Belonging” invites visitors on an intimate journey through Takauji’s subconscious as she explores themes of life and death, home and belonging, and all the fragile spaces in between.

Natsuki Takauji is a Japanese interdisciplinary artist based in Queens, NY. Her work explores displacement, memories, and healing through both personal expressions and communal participation. Her practice ranges from intricate mixed-media sculpture, multimedia art, and painting to socially engaged and large-scale public art.
