Tracing the Kuroshio ocean current, which connects the coastlines of Japan and California, reveals an interconnected history of migration, industry, art and culture. JANM and its sister museum, the Museum of Modern Art Wakayama, invite you to the virtual transnational symposium, Undercurrents: Tracing Shared Histories from Japan to California. Hear from researchers, curators, filmmakers, and descendants about the interesting threads that connect the two coastlines as well as the Wakayama and Chiba migrants who specialized in the fishing trade to their adopted homes on California’s Central Coast and Terminal Island.
