Join us for a casual conversation over boba with artist TT Takemoto, whose exhibition Remembering in the Absence of Memory is currently on view at the Cantor Arts Center through December 1, 2024. TT Takemoto is a queer Japanese American artist exploring hidden dimensions of same-sex intimacy in Asian American history. Takemoto interacts with found footage and archival materials through performance and labor-intensive processes of painting, lifting, and manipulating 16mm/35mm film emulsion using clear tape, razor blades, and nail polish. By engaging with tactile and sensory dimensions of queer histories, Takemoto conjures up immersive fantasies honoring Asian Americans who lived, loved, and labored together.

RSVP HERE.

All students are welcome to join for free boba and conversation! Art and Boba Talks are informal chats meant to be a welcoming space for students to engage with practicing arts professionals to learn more about working in the arts, what an art practice looks like, and/or to ask any questions you might have in your journey as an aspiring arts professional! We also welcome any folks who simply love art and want to join for a casual conversation over boba, no arts background required :)

This event is open to Stanford students only. Boba is limited to the first 20 RSVPs.
