Japanese American artist Makoto Fujimura and his wife Haejin Fujimura will be co-presenting a four-part series that includes themes of kintsugi, restorative justice, post destruction, slow art and more. Join us for this first installment which will feature a short film screening, followed by a lecture and Q&A.
Light refreshments will be served.
As an artist and a lawyer couple, Makoto and Haejin Fujimura live out the integration of beauty and justice. Haejin co-founded Embers International, a global NGO committed to “protect, restore and empower” those caught in the intergenerational trauma and abuse of human trafficking, and Makoto serves as Embers’ Artist Advocate.
Makoto Fujimura is a contemporary artist and author of several books including Art+Faith: A Theology of Making (Yale University Press, 2021). Makoto and Haejin have created a space called “The Estuary” which incubates their collective efforts. They are currently cowriting a book on beauty and justice to be released from Brazos Press.
Makoto Fujimura’s work will be exhibited at the Arthur Ross Gallery and the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts from March to April 2025 in connection with this lecture series.
