“Morning” illustration (by Lauren Iida, hand-cut paper, 2014) from In My Village, a book created by The Antipodes Collective to help teach English to Cambodian youth: “In my village, the morning always comes. / It is bright and noisy . . .”
The Antipodes Collective (the non-profit I recently founded) is featured in ARCADE's current magazine issue "Empathy, Fire, and Spades: Design for Social Innovation." 


ARCADE is a Seattle-based non-profit that creates opportunities — in print, in the community and online — for sharing ideas about design, culture and the built environment. 


Below is an excerpt from our article entitled, "Turning a Page in Cambodia."

"The Antipodes Collective is the culmination of my love for Cambodia, my desire to contribute positively to the lives and prosperity of the people of Prasot village and my goal to collaborate with artists from around the world to create effective, quality arts-based curri­cula and learning materials."

LAUREN IIDA: CASTLE ROCK IS FOR LOVERS
October 15 – December 13, 2014

Alumni Gallery
1000 Lenora Street, Seattle, WA[map] 

Artist Reception: Wednesday, December 10, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Cornish College of the Arts is proud to present a solo exhibition of work by Lauren Iida (AR’14) in the Alumni Gallery. Castle Rock is for Lovers is an homage to the matriarchs of Iida’s family who endured incarceration during World War II at Tule Lake “Relocation Center” in northern California. The images in Iida’s delicate cut paper works come directly from a collection of photos belonging to the sister of her grandmother. These personal photos date back to the 1930s. By examining these glimpses into the past, Iida investigates her family’s complex history. By rendering them lovingly in cut paper, she honors and memorializes this complicated past.
