Doctoral candidate Julian Saporiti will discuss how his dissertation project at Brown University "No-No Boy" which examines musical cultures of transpacific and Asian refugee communities has turned into a multimedia work incorporating film, photography, museum curation and songwriting. Saporiti will show a short film about about jazz in Japanese American Incarceration Camps as well as perform a couple of original songs inspired by his research and discuss his process. He will be joined by one of his collaborators Emilia Halvorsen who will also discuss how she has added embroidery and costume design into the project.
