hito hata,poster for the first asian-american film created and produced by asian-americans. it was a very monumental endeavor by visual communications, and has the support of the community. i bet half the people in this room were in this movie. 1983, i was commissioned by the women's building to create a poster in a series they had called " private conversations, public places." immediately, i thought of executive order 9066 when japanese-americans were taken away to camps. part of it was to place your piece in a public place. i place it on the corner of first in san pedro. and every day i walked there to see if it was there. day, someone had taken it down. but once i created this poster and what i did is i gave many of them to ncrr for fundraising purposes. i hope you guys made some money. another holiday, i guess holiday, in my life. i can't imagine starting the new year without it. this poster was created for jccc. and once again uses icons oshogatsu, good luck icons. presenting them in a different matter but sort of familiar and announcing their programming. taper forum
