Summary
In the mid-1950s, Machiko Tomaru departed on a naval vessel from her native Japan with her US Marine husband and first child, embarking on the first leg of a long journey of personal re-invention in her new homeland. With a concise selection of family photographs and archival immigration documents, Navigation touches on themes of assimilation and acculturation, while simultaneously functioning as a departure point for an expanded dialogue on contemporary immigrant experiences. -- Printed Matter's Facebook page, viewed May 18, 2021.
