Safety/Luck group exhibition combines different approaches that a culture may use to protect its residents. “Safety” comes from the American focus on keeping its residents safe with safety materials: caution tape, instructional signs and reflective material.

“Luck” comes from the Japanese tradition of attaining luck through charms, rituals and temples. The creator of the exhibition and lead curator, Michiko Tanaka draws from observations of growing up between Japanese and American cultures.
