Event Info:
We'll be taking a tour of TT Takemoto's art exhibition, Remembering in the Absence of Memory, at Stanford University's Cantor Arts Center!
This exhibition features two video works and two complementary series of small handmade objects and works on paper by San Francisco Bay Area-based artist TT Takemoto. Takemoto’s videos "Looking for Jiro" (2011) and "On the Line" (2018) uniquely center queer experiences of intimacy in prewar and WWII contexts. The Gentleman’s Gaman series (2009–23) and an installation of handcrafted kokeshi dolls (2023) offer expanded modes of engagement with challenging and overlooked narratives in Asian American history, as reimagined by Takemoto.
