Japanese American National Museum present Hafu: The Mixed Race Experience of Japan by Lara Perez-Takagi and Megumi Nishikura on April 5th 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM.
Hafu: The Mixed Race Experience of Japan is the unfolding journey of discovery into the intricacies of mixed race Japanese and their multicultural experiences in modern day Japan. The film follows five hafus – the Japanese term for people who are half Japanese – who are compelled to explore what it means to be multiracial and multicultural in a nation that proclaims itself to be mono-ethnic.
In conjunction with the exhibition Visible & Invisible: A Hapa Japanese American History.
The mission of the Japanese American National Museum is to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Japanese American experience.
