Learn more about three trailblazing Japanese American women artists who, until now, have been excluded from the story of modernism in the United States and the exhibition that presents their artworks and life stories in dialogue. In this virtual talk, Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa, Hisako Hibi, and Miné Okubo curator ShiPu Wang, Coats Family Chair in the Arts and professor of art history at the University of California, Merced, offers biographical sketches of the artists that contextualize their artistic development in relation to key moments in U.S. history. He shares stories from his twenty-year journey to restore the important role of Hayakawa, Hibi, and Okubo in American art.
