Take a deep dive into the art of tattooing as it’s explored in the exhibition, Living Tattoo Traditions: American Irezumi and Beyond. Hear firsthand from several artists in the exhibition as they discuss tattoos as conduits of culture, tattoos as connections to ancestral knowledge, cultural traditions and community, the body as an archive of stories, and tattooing as an intimate exchange between the artist and the wearer. Featuring artists Seem Dayoub, John Henry Gloyne and Leo Zulueta, and artists and co-curators, Molly Kitamura and Takahiro (Taki) Kitamura. The program will be introduced by exhibition photographer, John Agcaoili.
