Join co-curator Hikari Yokoyama as they take us on a tour of Sarabande’s show Corpus Mentis (2021) acting as a lens by which the viewer can peer into the world of exhibiting artists.

Sarabande celebrates art, craft, fashion and jewellery, and in a world where we have become increasingly separated, our upcoming exhibition in partnership with theVOV brings us all back together to enjoy art in one virtual space shared with some of the UK’s most pioneering arts institutions. 

Born in Tokyo and brought up in Chicago, Hikari studied at Columbia University. Working for gallerist and dealer Jeffrey Deitch, she became immersed in the art world, doing art advisory, independent curatorial projects, and commissioning artists. Starting the art news blog ArtObserved, and later joining Alexander Gilkes and Aditya Julka  in a plan to revolutionse the art world through the internet, Paddle8 was successfully launched.

Moving to London with her now-fiancé Jay Jopling, Hikari began consulting for Audi, Prada, Miu Miu, Bombay Sapphire, Gucci, Tiffany & Co, Spring Studios, Caprice Holdings and others. Currently a contributing editor at British Vogue under editor Edward Enninful, Hikari uses her background in art and the digital sphere to create audiences through cultural experiences, and is passionate about social entrepreneurship, particularly in empowering women.
