Book Club

Is there anything more enjoyable than looking at art and talking about books?  We at the Museum Library don’t think so and that’s why we host an art-themed book club!

Our next Book Club will begin at Noon on Sunday October 4 at the Vladem Contemporary. We will be reading Only What We Could Carry: The Japanese American Internment Experience.  This book is an incredible anthology of stories, poems, photographs, essays, and graphic art that explores the range of emotions and experience related to Japanese-American incarceration during World War II.

After our initial discussion we’ll move into the galleries to explore Reclaiming the Future: The Legacy of Japanese American Incarceration, a major exhibition bringing together ten Japanese and Japanese American artists whose work engages the enduring legacies of wartime incarceration, migration, memory, and place.
