On January 1, 2024, the 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck the Noto Peninsula shook the neighboring city of Kanazawa, damaging the glass ceiling panels in the galleries at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art. This influenced Argentinian sculptor Adrián Villar Rojas’s plans for a newly commissioned artwork for the museum’s group exhibition “Dancing with All: The Ecology of Empathy.”
