Asian Pacific Cultural Center: Native Plant Transfer Workshop
August 5, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
FREEEvent Navigation
Join Yoshi Nacagowa for her native plant transfer workshop August 5th from 1-3pm. The intention of this workshop is to bring communities together to appreciate our natural world, patching and mending wounds while creating a sense of home.
The prints made will be hand sewn together as a community quilt, shown at the Furusato exhibition in October 2024 and donated to the Asia Pacific Cultural Center (APCC).
Yoshi Nacagowa’s project Furusato, meaning homeland in Japanese, is a series of paper quilts, sewn together from printmaking images of Northwest flora and landscapes, hand printed on Japanese washi paper.
This project explores and acknowledges homeland, specifically friendships and the mutual generosity between Indigenous- and Japanese-American individuals—both communities bonded by empathy for loss of their land and homes
On the day of this workshop, APCC will also have their monthly Taste of Asia (Okinawa) event from 11am-1pm (tickets available online at asiapacificculturalcenter.org), and food trucks will be there from 12-2pm.
Please RSVP on the event page to reserve your spot! Please note that APCC has moved to its temporary location at the Portland Ave. Community Center until they rebuild.
Supported by the Tacoma Artists Initiative Program, City of Tacoma Arts Commission.
