Photographer Nagi Yoshida, known for her appearances on the hugely popular TBS TV show Crazy Journey, will be holding her Tokyo debut exhibition, "HEROES -RELOADED-," at the Ueno Royal Museum, starting Wednesday, January 7, 2026. This exhibition marks the culmination of Yoshida's work, featuring approximately 120 photographs capturing the beautiful and courageous ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples of each region, as she traveled across continents from Africa to the Amazon and Asia. This exhibition, which drew an audience of 20,000 at the Urasoe Art Museum in Okinawa in August 2025 and concluded with a rapturous reception, is a must-see.
