Nimura will be presenting on her ongoing work and three-part artwork, Wasteland Dreams, which includes the pieces: “Entangled,” “Extended Family Table,” and “Upstream Together.” These three artworks express some of the problems we face regarding our solid waste by using common, everyday materials reclaimed from our waste stream and raise awareness of our shared environmental dilemma.

Born to Japanese immigrant parents and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Nakagawa’s journey of belonging is expressed through quilts made with Japanese washi paper and prints of native Northwest flora and landscapes. The exhibition includes community quilts created with participants from Asia Pacific Cultural Center, Tacoma Public Library, and SAMi High School, emphasizing quilting’s role in fostering community. This project honors the historic relationship between Japanese Americans and Indigenous peoples during WWII and reflects on healing, nature, and mutual support. Funded by the Tacoma Artists Initiative Program from the Tacoma Arts Commission, Nakagawa invites viewers to reflect on identity and stewardship through art. ________________________________ Black Night Market: Holidazes [Holidazes]October 19, 2 - 8 pm Tacoma Armory (1001 S.

It's a simple idea. One Table shows are a little bit sketch comedy, a little improv, and a lot of unpredictable fun. Written and directed by Derek Nunn and Masahiro Sugano and starring an ever-changing cast of Tacoma characters, One Table is an opportunity to see your city as you've never seen it before. This month One Table will be appearing at Opal Lounge, so come by on October 24, enjoy the local talent and maybe even make some friends. This month's event is 21+ only. ________________________________ Thanks for the Tour!
