Hello J-Sei friends and family! September is just around the corner, and we have an exciting lineup of events for you. First up is our “Four Immigrants Manga” Presentation, feat. author/translator Frederik L. Schodt.

One of the first comic books in the U.S., “Manga Yonin Shosei” (or The Four Student Worker’s Manga) by Henry (Yosh*taka) Kiyama was first exhibited in San Francisco in 1927, and published as a comic book in 1931. Nearly forgotten for fifty years, “The Four Immigrants Manga” ( translated by Schodt) has become an engaging teaching resource on Japanese American immigrant history. The book chronicles the adventures of four Japanese immigrants in a world of possibility and prejudice in turn-of-the-twentieth-century San Francisco.

Come join us for a special presentation on Saturday, September 19th from 1:00pm-2:30pm at J-Sei! RSVP (both in person and online) for this *free* event here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/four-immigrants-manga. (Link is also in the Q.R. code in the attached flyer). Visit our website for more information: https://j-sei.org/the-four-immigrants-manga/.

Kathleen and Janet also talk about the challenges of running a small but mighty organic farm, the nuances of local food sourcing, and what you can do to help support your local organic farm. There is a likelihood that you may have bought a Hikari Farm vegetable at your local Bay Area supermarket or farmers' market!

Co-presented by A PLACE OF HER OWN and J-Sei in Emeryville, CA .

August 23. Artist Talk: Gallery 12-5 pm/ Talk 1pm - 4pm (today)

Curated by Cynthia Tom and Julie Andersen

You are invited to view this found-object based art exhibition. PLACE multiethnic, multigenerational alumni artists share their healing journeys and the art created in answer to the question, "If you had a place of your own, what would it be?”

Using found objects, their intuition and self-agency, they create works that speak to their healing journeys, imperfect, messy and gloriously full of epiphanies.

Oct 18. Closing Celebration Potluck: Gallery 12– 3pm

Location: JSEI at 1285 66th St, Emeryville, CA 94608
