As Jerry Takigawa was growing up, when anyone in his family spoke of “camp” they weren’t referring to a pine-scented summer retreat—they were referring to the WWII American concentration camps sanctioned by Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. Join us on Saturday, August 14, between 4 and 5pm, to hear the  backstory of Jerry’s multi-award winning Balancing Cultures photography project and the creation of his newly released book.

Jerry will also be having TWO in-person book signings!
Stop by the Center for Photographic Art gallery on either of the following dates to meet Jerry and purchase a signed copy of Balancing Cultures:
Sunday, August 1st, 12–3pm
Saturday, August 21st, 12–3pm

“Balancing Cultures masterfully interweaves narrative, memory, and image to shine the light of history on prejudice, discrimination, and the unfinished business of racial justice in America.” — Ann Burroughs, President and CEO, Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Chair, Amnesty International Global Council

Register for the online talk.
