On display at NJAHS through August 31, "Re-envisioning Community" is an exhibition of HIF's fifteen year history through photographs and documents (part of this exhibition was unveiled at HIF's Last Hurrah 'retirement' event on the campus of UC Berkeley last September). The exhibition opening next Sunday afternoon will feature a light and informal panel discussion about the organization and its legacy by a few of its past members.
The Sunday opening coincides with the first weekend of the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival, which will run all day along Post Street and around Japantown, and will offer food, arts & crafts, music, cultural performances and more.
