Julian Saporiti is a musician/scholar whose songs address the tragic legacies of the Vietnam War (he’s half Vietnamese) and the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. His music appears under the Smithsonian Folkways label. He earned a PhD in American Studies from Brown University.
The lecture/performance will especially appeal to anyone with interests in folk music/storytelling, video arts, the American wars in Asia, refugees and immigration, and Asian American identities.
