Emmie Tsumura
Emmie Tsumura is a cultural producer, primarily working in illustration and graphic design. Guided by research into Japanese folk tales and personal ancestry, her work documents an ongoing process of negotiating Japanese settler/colonial identity, and relationships to the urban environment. She aims to build a socially-engaged practice, exploring art activism and solidarity within a fast and furiously forgetful urban and mass media landscape. She is currently based in Toronto/Tkaronto.
