The second film in the Japanese American National Museum’s Digital Film Festival series is “Masters of Modern Design: The Art of the Japanese American Experience” on Friday, May 29, at 6 p.m. PDT.
This documentary, a co-production between JANM’s Watase Media Arts Center and KCET for the series “Artbound,” explores how the World War II American concentration camp experience impacted the lives of five Japanese American artists and designers and ultimately sent them on trajectories that led to their changing the face of American culture with their immense talents.
From the hand-drawn typeface on the cover of “The Godfather” to Herman Miller’s biomorphic coffee table, the work of Japanese American designers including Ruth Asawa, George Nakashima, Isamu Noguchi, S. Neil Fujita, and Gyo Obatapermeated postwar culture. While these second-generation Japanese American artists have been celebrated, less-discussed is how their WWII incarceration — a period of great hardship and discrimination — had a powerful effect on their lives and art.
Join a Q&A with the children of the featured artists. Kiku Obata(designer and daughter of Gyo Obata), Mira Nakashima(furniture designer and daughter of George Nakashima), Kenji Fujita(artist and son of S. Neil Fujita), and Addie Lanier(educator and daughter of Ruth Asawa) will talk about their parents’ lives and legacies.
The Q&A will be streamed live on JANM’s YouTube channel. Submit questions in advance using this form:
