MISS DOCENT: Bicentennials, earthquakes and mysterious cannonballs

"Silent Existence" at the Photo Arts Center

An entire year has passed since a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Northeastern Japan. To mark this anniversary, Japan native Tetsugo Hyakutake, who has been exploring pathos and truth in contemporary Japanese issues for years, brings his photographs depicting the disaster's aftermath, with torn gravel roads to nowhere and machinery strewn across coasts, to the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center. Part of the artist talk and reception’s proceeds (and sales of two available Hyakutake prints) will go to support the Japan Society’s Japan Earthquake Relief Fund.

Through June 11, free, reception and artist talk, Thu., March 29, 6:30-8 p.m., $15, Philadelphia Photo Arts Center, 1400 N. American St. #103, 215-232-5678, philaphotoarts.org
