About the Event
Members are invited to an exclusive tour of Noguchi to Asawa: Designing Postwar America, a groundbreaking exhibition that reconsiders 20th-century art and design within the context of Japanese and Japanese American incarceration during World War II and the broader history of America. The exhibition showcases the works of two generations of artists affected by forced relocation and incarceration: sculptor and designer Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988), architect and furniture designer George Nakashima (1905–1990), sculptor Leo Amino (b. Taiwan, 1911–1989), graphic designer S. Neil Fujita (b. Territory of Hawaii, 1921–2010), fiber artist and weaver Kay Sekimachi (b. 1926), and artist Ruth Asawa (1926–2013).
Registrants will be emailed a link for the program the day prior.
