Conversations with the "Finding Family Stories" Artists


How does an artist make a private story the subject for public viewing? How does one engage an audience while maintaining the integrity of personal experiences? Find out the answers to these questions and more on Friday, March 13, 1998 at 7 p.m. in a free discussion with the artists of the Finding Family Stories exhibit at Self-Help Graphics, located at 3802 Cesar Chavez Avenue in Los Angeles. For more information, please call (213) 625-0414, extension 239.

Joyce Dallal, Aaron Glass, Eddy Kurushima, Frank LaPena, Judith Lowry, and Kim Yasuda will all be on hand to discuss their motivations and experiences of making art about their families. This discussion will be moderated by Self-Help Graphics Director, Tomas Benitez, and you can currently view Finding Family Stories at the Japanese American National Museum, the Skirball Cultural Center, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
