Forgotten feminists and Japanese-American culture in the Pacific Northwest with Mayumi Tsutakawa (Washington)
Description
In this episode, Amelia speaks with Mayumi Tsutakawa, a Japanese-American writer and curator from Seattle. They discuss her family’s influence on the art world, her career as a journalist and curator, and her new lecture “Washington’s Undiscovered Feminists” that tells the stories of five remarkable, but often unsung, women from Washington.
Mayumi also reflects on the past and present of the feminist movement, and shares about her family’s history at Japanese internment camps through the story of her maternal grandmother.
