Our award-winning Watase Media Arts Center recently produced ten new videos for the Drawing the Line: Japanese American Art, Design & Activism exhibition (on view through February 19, 2012).
For those who can’t make it down to see the exhibition or prefer to watch it from the comfort of your own home, we will be sharing them online over the next few months.
The first video up is about Gidra, the seminal magazine of the Asian American movement published from April 1969 to April 1974.
We also have scans from 4 full issues on Discover Nikkei:
April 1969 (first issue) | January 1971 | February 1973 | April 1974 (final issue)
For those of you who worked on, contributed to, or read Gidra, please take this survey: Did you Gidra survey >>

We’ll be posting new videos weekly. So check back for the links.
We’re pulling them together into a Drawing the Line playlist on our JANM YouTube channel too.
All of the videos are also available on DVD from the Museum Store: Drawing the Line DVD >>
