About the Event

JANM Members are invited to join exhibition curator Clement Hanami, JANM’s Vice President of Exhibitions and Art Director, for a walkthrough of JANM’s exhibition, Contested Histories: Preserving and Sharing a Community Collection. The exhibition consists of the Eaton Collection, some 400 objects made by Japanese American incarcerees that were saved from the auction block by the incredible efforts of community organizations, leaders, and activists.

Hanami will talk about recent scholarship on the collection and the history behind the collection that sparked a national protest, decisive action, and multigenerational conversations within and beyond the Japanese American community.
