The Center for Japanese Studies, along with the Hapa Japan Database Project and All Nippon Airways, will host the Hapa Japan Conference on April 8th and 9th, featuring specialists in the study of mixed-race Japanese history, identity, and representation. Topics range from the history of mixed-race Japanese in the 1500s, part-Japanese communities in Australia, to the exploration of identity and representation through story-telling, films, and a photo-exhibit. For more information, please reference the conference agenda or contact cjs-events@berkeley.edu.

NEW PEOPLE’s first Trunk Show opens with Vuduberi, a small collective and studio formed by few artists. The idea of a “Trunk Show” is for creators, artists, artisans, craft makers, printers, fashion-brands and businesses to haul a small shop (i.e. your open-trunk) into a new temporary location, in this case, NEW PEOPLE’s fashion floor! So visit Vuduberi during the weekend of April 2nd & 3rd, and check out their Weekend Trunk Show with original artworks and crafts sold by the artists themselves!

About Vuduberi:
VUDUBERI is a small group of friends with oddly diverse interests. Patara is the head mistress, designing all sorts of cute critters. She leads a group of elves who figure out how to bring these designs to life, most of them hand made in the San Francisco Bay Area with very low production runs.

For more information, email us at kiwi@vuduberi.com or check out Vuduberi.com!

Current Crew:
Patara, Cultivator of Artistic Delights
Pailin, Curator of Creative Insights
James, Facilitator of Forward Thinking
