SUMMARY:Appreciation vs Appropriation Series: Discussion #1 with Yuki Kokubo
DESCRIPTION:Appreciation vs Appropriation is a continuous conversation on cultural ownership that attempts to explore this complex topic in a nuanced way. This conversation will be structured as a series of one-on-one interviews with artists\, subject matter experts\, and community members speaking from their own perspectives rather than attempting to speak for entire communities or cultures. We do not expect all messaging to be consistent\, nor do we expect a consensus to be reached on where the line falls between appropriation and appreciation. Rather\, we hope to spark further conversations on the topic. \nAll conversations will be streamed live\, and recordings will be made available when interviewees grant their permission for us to do so. \nWe will primarily be focusing on appropriation of Japanese culture and interviewing Nikkei or Japanese individuals\, but we are hopeful to expand the conversation further with the right partners. If you represent a cultural organization that is interested in collaborating with us\, please reach out to advocacy@tcjacl.org or yuki@madebyyuki.com. \nSaturday\, August 12th at 7pm US Central Time \nYuki Kokubo (she/her)\n小久保由紀 \nYuki Kokubo is the creator behind Made by Yuki\, a clothing line that utilizes Kimonos and other vintage Japanese textiles. By focusing on the history and craftsmanship of traditional textiles\, Yuki creates opportunities for everyone to appreciate Japanese culture without overstepping the boundaries of appropriation. \n\nMade by Yuki\n\n@made.by.yuki
