Davina is Diné and originally from Birdsprings\, Arizona\, a community adjacent to Leupp. Kojun “Jun” Ueno Sunseri is shin-issei\, born in Tokyo with biological paternal roots from Ueno and emigrated at five years old to the United States to be raised in other cultures in Southern California and eventually adopted. Koji Lau-Ozawa is a sansei/yonsei from San Francisco. His grandparents\, along with great-grandparents\, aunts and uncles\, were all incarcerated at the Gila River Incarceration Camp where he focused his first major research project. \nClick here for the full press release.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Manzanar Fishing Club Screening & GYOTAKU FISH PRINT DEMONSTRATION
DESCRIPTION:Manzanar Fishing Club screening.- FREE – Limited seating\nSaturday\, August 6\, 2022\, 6PM -8:00PM\nLocation: NJAHS Peace Gallery (1684 Post ST San Francisco CA 94115)\nco-sponsored with the SF Nisei Fishing Club\nTHE MANZANAR FISHING CLUB is a feature length documentary that chronicles the WWII internment of Japanese-American from a unique perspective: through the eyes of those who defied the armed guards\, barbed wire and searchlights to fish for trout in the surrounding waters of the Eastern Sierra. By emphasizing the evacuees’ personal stories it is the first internment film to go beyond the confinement itself\, and instead highlight values – courage\, responsibility and cooperation – that enable the human spirit. Interviews with noted experts provide new insights in to the social political backdrop of the internment. This is the untold story of those who refuse to knuckle under and risked it all to go fishing just like other ordinary Americans.\n\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\n\n\n\nGYOTAKU FISH PRINT DEMONSTRATION By Kenny Ina\nSunday\, August 7\, 2022\, 12-3PM \nLocation: NJAHS Peace Gallery (1684 Post ST San Francisco CA 94115)\nCo-sponsored by the SF Nisei Fishing Club

SUMMARY:We are LGBT Nikkei Extended to July 15th
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nImage is “A Glimmer” By Julia LaChica (2020)\n\n\n\nJulia LaChica is a queer Japanese-Filipino American Visual Artist. Born in San Francisco and raised at North Ping Yuen Public Housing. She attended public school during “Operation Integrate”—-desegregation busing— taking her from Chinatown to Potrero Hill where she would spend time with classmates at the Sunnydale Public Housing Project. \nFor lack of a better word\, Julia was a latchkey kid\, deeply immersed in street culture and free to play without supervision.  Her work is deeply informed by her upbringing as a Nisei daughter and her life within BIPOC and LGBTQI communities of San Francisco and Oakland. \nAfter several years as a working artist\, Julia returned to school and received her BFA in Industrial Design from CCA\, worked as a Product Designer for 20 years and is now dedicating all her time to Visual Arts. Julia works in Acrylic\, Mixed Media Collage\, Assemblage Art Printmaking and Digital Art. \n\n\nCuratorial Statement:\n\nExhibition dates: May 14 – July 15 \nThere have always been queer Japanese Americans. Since the earliest days of Japanese migration to the United States\, there have been Japanese Americans who defy traditional gender and sexualtiy. Whether it be the poet Yone Noguchi or 1960s activist Kiyoshi Kuromiya\, queer Japanese Americans have been among us. The Japanese American Citizens League famously became the first non-LGBT oriented civil rights organization to endorse gay marriage in 1994. \nYet\, there seems to be an invisible wall between the two identities. \nWhen operating within the Japanese American community\, the support for LGBTQ people seems to be an outward show of support rather than an embracement. Thus\, the identities almost seem mutually exclusive. As American queer scholar Eve Sedgwick described an “epistemology of the closet”\, Nikkei scholar Andrew Leong describes an “epistemology of the pocket.” As LGBTQ people in America have “a closet” to be themselves\, being a minority within a minority affords queer Nikkei even less space. \nThis exhibition aims to bring that issue to light and radically give Nikkei space to queer Nikkei. By doing so\, the exhibition intends to not only send a message that LGBTQ Nikkei they are welcome and embraced within San Francisco’s Japantown community\, but to show the greater Japanese American community that LGBTQ people are amongst them. \nLocation: NJAHS Peace Gallery 1684 Post St San Francisco CA 94115 \nEmail: njahs@njahs.org \nPhone # 415-921-5007 \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:THE SUITCASE PROJECT at the NJAHS Peace Gallery- Due to Covid-19 our office is closed
DESCRIPTION:THE SUITCASE PROJECT\nBy Kayla Isomura\nWhat would you pack if forcibly removed from your home today? \nThe Suitcase Project is a multimedia exhibition asking yonsei and gosei (fourth and fifth generation) Japanese Canadians and Americans what they would pack if uprooted from their homes in a moment’s notice. \nWhile these descendants of the internment and incarceration may never have to endure the same forced uprooting as their ancestors\, Kayla Isomura’s work examines how they\, and those descended from families who experienced other forms of discrimination\, remain affected by this history today. More than 80 subjects ranging in age and background share their stories from cities in British Columbia\, Canada and Washington\, US through a series of photographs\, short films and interviews. \n\nClick here for more information\n \n\n\n\nWhere: National Japanese American Historical Society Peace Gallery 1684 Post Street. San Francisco\, CA. 94115 \nFebruary 1\, 2020 – July 18\, 2020 \nOpen Monday – Friday\, 12:00pm – 5:00pm And First Saturdays of the Month\, 12:00pm – 5:00pm
