| Transforming Family History into Art: Screening + Conversation with artist A.S.M. Kobayashi Join award-winning artist A.S.M. Kobayashi for a special screening and conversation. Kobayashi will present her short documentary File No. 2304, a poetic and powerful film based on the WWII government file that documented the forced displacement and internment of her Japanese Canadian family. Following the film, Kobayashi will introduce her new project Electric Neon Clock, a multimedia performance and installation that reimagines the contents of this custodial file. The conversation will touch on researching family history through archives and site visits and will also prompt participants to create materials to share with their family to help preserve memories and family legacy. |
