Kumi Taguchi in conversation with Julia Baird
About
Join us for an evening of captivating emotional honesty with Kumi Taguchi, in conversation with Julia Baird.Thursday 29th May
5.30pm for a 6pm start.
Growing up, Kumi Taguchi thought her father was merely distant: reserved, obsessively frugal and – after her parents’ divorce – almost entirely missing. When he died, Kumi’s feelings about him and the Japanese heritage he had given her remained tangled.
But just because a parent has gone doesn’t mean they’re absent. Over time Kumi came to understand more about her father, including his experiences as a child in wartime Japan and, above all, the culture she both loved and felt burdened by.
Kumi's exquisite memoir is an incredibly moving exploration of history, place and personal relationships.
