JANM Book Club: Pictures of Belonging with ShiPu Wang

Sunday, November 26, 2023 • 2 p.m.–3:30 p.m.

Join Dr. ShiPu Wang, curator of Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa, Hisako Hibi, and Miné Okubo, the Coats Family Chair in the Arts and Professor of Art History at the University of California, Merced, and commissioner of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, for the launch of the new exhibition catalog.

The exhibition and catalog reveal a broader picture of the American experience by presenting artworks and life stories of three trailblazing Japanese American women of the pre–World War II generation that will be in dialogue with each other for the first time. With seventy paintings and drawings as well as four sketchbooks by Miki Hayakawa, Hisako Hibi, and Miné Okubo, the exhibition spans eight decades and reveals both the range and depth of these artists’ oeuvres and connections that have not been explored previously.
