Artist Talk: Lauren Iida

Saturday, June 4 @ 1 pm

Lauren Iida is a Northwest artist whose artworks are an ongoing investigation into her own Japanese-American heritage and the lasting intergenerational trauma resulting from the unjust incarceration of her ancestors during World War II.

This exhibition also includes two of her nuclear fan blade sculptures, created in collaboration with local nuclear arts initiative, Blades of Change.

Her connection, and severance from her complex ancestral roots are expressed in large-scale cut paper installation. Iida will speak about the current exhibition and her numerous ongoing public art installations around the Pacific Northwest.

Admission to the museum is free on June 14. There is no registration needed for this event and walk-ins are welcome.
