Join Asia Society to celebrate its upcoming exhibition In the Wake: Japanese Photographers Respond to 3/11. Through photographs, the exhibition reflects on the powerful role of artists in the journey of recovery from cataclysmic events, as seen in these works stemming from Japan's 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and Fukushima nuclear disaster.
A conversation between Anne E. Havinga, the exhibition's co-curator, and Bridget Bray, Asia Society Texas Center's Nancy C. Allen Curator & Director of Exhibitions, will begin at 7 pm.
