Please join us in commemorating the Japanese American Day of Remembrance with local artist and community activist Erin Shigaki. Shigaki will deliver a presentation titled, Never Again Is Now: Remembering Japanese American Incarceration and lead a mural-making workshop. Sushi and Japanese snacks will be provided!
Shigaki helps run an annual pilgrimage to Minidoka, the American WWII concentration camp where her family was incarcerated, and she is also a part of Tsuru for Solidarity, working to end detention and incarceration for all. In 2020, Shigaki’s mural, “Never Again is Now” installed at Bellevue College in honor of the Day of Remembrance was defaced.
