#WomensPavilion#Expo2025#CartierWaDialogues#Cartier The pavilion has a site area of ​​1,708 square meters and is spread over two floors. The pavilion was designed by architect Yuko Nagayama. It serves as a symbolic bridge between tradition and modernity. The façade adopted by the Japan Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai and inspired by the traditional Japanese woodworking technique Kumiko has been reused in the Women’s Pavilion. Over 7,000 parts are used. The redesigned pavilion is inspired by a townhouse and embodies Cartier’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.

With his forward-thinking approach, Ez Devlin sees the Expo as a “unique collection of musical instruments,” and describes it as “a place where each pavilion serves as a different instrument to send a message on the world stage for six months.” Based on this idea, the Women’s Pavilion aims to shift the perspective on gender equality to the core. The pavilion asks guests to provide their names and their identity becomes part of the story. In “THREE WOMEN,” we listen to the stories of three women of different nationalities and ages: novelist Banana Yoshimoto, poet and activist Emtikhar Mahmoud, and environmental protection activist Sie Bastida. At the end of the short film produced by Es Devlin and director Naomi Kawase, the door opens and the screen reads “THREE”. Go to “PATHWAYS”. You will be guided down one of the paths prepared to relive their lives. This exhibition allows visitors to relive the life of one woman, encourages reflection, and ultimately links that experience to broader, universal issues in the world. This immersive experience bridges individual commitment and a call to collective action, amplifying the Women’s Pavilion’s message far beyond physical and temporal boundaries.

Mainly composed. “UPPER GARDEN” with an impressive atrium on the 2nd floor depicts Japan’s changing four seasons. The locally sourced trees will be returned to the mountains of Osaka after the Expo, symbolizing architect Yuko Nagayama’s vision of “a cycle in which nature, people, and resources are
interconnected.” Many other creators are also participating in the pavilion. Melanie Laurent (French actress, director, and artist) explores themes of female empowerment through her portraits and soundscapes. In the VR installed on the second floor, you can watch video works with Ophelia as a motif. Hiroshi Chiba (artist) used the “chlorograph” technique to print photographs on leaves, and exhibited works created in collaboration with Mélanie Laurent on the stairs leading from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor. I draw various figures of women. Additionally, Chitose Abe (sacai designer and creative director) designed uniforms for the attendants of the Women’s Pavilion, which express harmony and modernity.
