The Japanese American Museum of Oregon invites you to a special conversation, inspired by the current exhibition, Minidoka on Our Minds.

Kelly Goto (Seattle Samurai) and Frank Abe (We Hereby Refuse) will discuss how graphic storytelling gives voice to the lived experiences of Japanese Americans incarcerated at the Minidoka concentration camp during World War II. Award-winning journalist Lori Matsukawa will moderate.

Join us for a discussion that connects place, memory, and storytelling — and explores how graphic memoir transforms incarceration history into shared civic reflection.

Book signing to follow; books by each author, published through Chin Music Press, will be available for purchase at the event.
