SUMMARY:Washington\, DC | Curator-Led Tour of "Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa\, Hisako Hibi\, and Miné Okubo" at the Smithsonian American Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa\, Hisako Hibi\, and Miné Okubo at the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, led by Melissa Ho\, Curator of 20th Century Art. \n\n\n\nMiki Hayakawa (1899-1953)\, Hisako Hibi (1907-1991)\, and Miné Okubo (1912-2001) were three of the most active and critically acclaimed American artists of Japanese descent in the years leading up to World War II. Their careers spanned eight decades and four US states\, yet the full extent of their contributions remain underrecognized within twentieth-century American art history. \n\n\n\nPictures of Belonging is an unprecedented examination of these three trailblazing figures. By tracing their artistic development before\, during\, and after the mass incarceration and displacement of Japanese Americans during World War II\, the exhibition offers a nuanced view of how these women continued to explore and experiment with new artistic expression throughout their lives. Created during tumultuous decades in modern US history\, their paintings\, along with their stories of resilience\, remind us of art’s power in the face of adversity and challenge. \n\n\n\nClick here to read more about the exhibition. \n\n\n\nPlease review the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s accessibility page for available accommodations.  \n\n\n\nProgram Admission: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Members – $15\n\n\n\n\nNot a member? Join today! \n\n\n\nPlease note that ArtTable registration fees go toward administrative costs for the nonprofit organization. The Smithsonian American Art Museum does not charge an admission fee. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Melissa Ho \n\n\n\nMelissa Ho is the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s curator of 20th-century art; she joined the museum’s staff in September 2016.
