Sansei Granddaughters Film, Art, Talk

​Join us for this free event, registration is not required.

​Sansei Granddaughters' Journey: From Remembrance to Resistance features the work of five highly respected third generation Japanese American (sansei) artists: Shari Arai DeBoer, Ellen Bepp, Reiko Fujii, Kathy Fujii-Oka and Na Omi Shintani.

​This event honors the memory and legacy of the Japanese Americans incarcerated during World War II and includes the artists' families. Through their unique and personal artistic expression, these descendants of the incarcerated share how the trauma of this unjust historical experience has impacted their lives and informs their art.

​The film, Q&A, and artwork, aim to inspire dialogue concerning racial discrimination, identity, and civil liberties.

​Understanding the histories and traumas of the past can lead to equitable and humane treatment of all people.
