Meet Ava Chirū Kvapil - Hajichi Tattoo Artist (Artsy August 2024)

During Artsy August we are highlighting Okinawan and mixed nikkei artists and here on YouTube you have a chance to listen in on their interviews. For our second interview, we have Ava Chirū Kvapil (aka chiruu_tattuu). She speaks on her experiences of discovering, practicing, and reviving Uchinanchu Hajichi (a form of Okinawan tattoo artistry). Make sure to follow our Instagram to see more highlights from Ava and be subscribed to get notifications for our upcoming artists' interviews and at the end of the month a panel discussion. Artsy August is made possible by Japanese American Memorial Pilgrimages.
