The Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre is looking at history through women’s eyes.
The centre is hosting Through Her Lens, a panel discussion with Nikkei female artists and scholars, on Saturday, July 16.
The discussion runs from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in conjunction with the current exhibit by Chino Otsuka, Arrival – which presents the story of Japanese-Canadian picture brides through video projection and audio narration set inside a black-box theatre.
The Saturday discussion draws inspiration from Otsuka’s work and will invites panelists to share how they approach their interest in history within their professional specialties.
The panel includes filmmaker and creative consultant Susanne Tabata, PhD candidates Julia Aoki and Ayaka Yoshimizu and inter-disciplinary artist Cindy Mochizuki.
It’s free, and all are welcome.
The Nikkei Centre is at 6688 Southoaks Cres. Call 604-777-7000 or see www.nikkeiplace.org for more information.
