JANM Members Only Learning at Lunch: Masumoto Family Farm

Class/Workshop
In Person
Japanese American National Museum
100 North Central Avenue Los Angeles, California, United States of America

Date: March 7, 2020

Time: 12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.



Bring your brown bag lunch and join us as we explore connections between Japanese American experiences and California farming. Special guest Nikiko Masumoto will bring objects from the Masumoto Family Farm, share stories of learning to work with her jiichan’s tools, and pose questions about how the objects that tie us to the land inform how we construct meaning through food.

JANM Collections staff will also show artifacts and archival material from the permanent collection that relate to Japanese American contributions to the agriculture industry.

Space is limited. RSVP by March 3 using the link below. You can also contact memberevents@janm.org or 213.830.5646.

Nikiko Masumoto will also be presenting Memory Crafting: How Do We Remember the Unspeakable, A Yonsei Perspective at 2 p.m., a free workshop that will invite attendees to immerse themselves in acts of memory and memory crafts. Click here for details and to RSVP.
In the Inahara Foyer
