Peaceful greetings to all:
On behalf of the Potomac Art Therapy Association I would like to express my deepest gratitude for everyone coming out to support the film screenings of The Cats of Mirikitani at Busboys and Poets three locations. We were so pleased with the turn outs and it was a pleasure meeting so many people interested in the film, Art Therapy, homelessness, Jimmy Mirikitani, Tule Lake, etc…
After the screenings many were interested in Jimmy and what he is doing now.
Please note that PATA will do its best to keep you informed of Jimmy and Linda Hattendorf.’s exhibitions and projects.
PATA’s updates on Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani and Linda:
Jimmy and Linda Hattendorf attended an opening for an exhibition of Jimmy’s work in upstate in Utica New York, at The Stanley Gallery. It will be on display from January 20th to March 22nd. It was well attended and Jimmy was very proud of this exhibit and the attendance.
Here is link to the gallery site: http://www.cnyarts.com/community_arts/gallery_spaces/exhibitions.php?id=531
Also, one of Jimmy’s art works that he produced while being at Tule Lake will be on display at the Smithsonian American Art Gallery- The Art of Gaman: Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps. It will be here in DC located on 8th and G street NW- on the 1st floor Renwick Gallery. Starting March 5th 2010- January 30th 2011-
Go to www.americanart.si.edu
The Art of Gaman: Arts and Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps, 1942-1946
The exhibition features more than 120 objects, the majority of which are on loan from former internees or their families. The display at the Renwick Gallery includes several objects that have not been seen publicly, including works by Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani, Isamu Noguchi, Henry Sugimoto, and master woodworkers Gentaro and Shinzaburo Nishiura. This is an opportunity to educate a new generation of Americans about the internment experience and provides a historical context through archival photographs and artifacts.
More on the exhibit in New York:
The artwork of Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani - January 20 - March 22
The Stanley's Loretta M. Romano Room Gallery- * Linda and Jimmy attended the opening.
Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani is a fiercely independent, 89-year-old Japanese American artist who lost his family and friends to the United States internment camps during World War II and Hiroshima's atomic bombing. He has survived the trauma of those two significant events and homelessness by creating art every day. This remarkable exhibition about the art and life of Mr. Mirikitani is a poignant exploration of the lasting impacts of war and discrimination, and the healing power of creativity. Gallery hours are 9am - 5pm Monday - Friday and during events at The Stanley.
Peace and light,

Needed in Haiti: 500 tubes of paint, 100 brushes, 20 sleeping bags and tents
Hello Family, Friends, Colleagues and Supporters,
The crisis in Haiti has brought a range of emotions in Haiti and inthe Diaspora. The immediate need for medical attention and basic necessities outweighs everything else. But as the evacuation of Port au Prince continues, the emotional reactions will manifest in Haitiand the Diaspora as well. We have already been a fragile community and now the sense of normalcy is strained. It is imperative that we begin to examine ourselves as a community and as members of a global community. Action is not always overt but must be deliberate. We are urging those who have specific skills within the Diaspora and global community tojoin us in thinking and strategizing about the most effective ways to rebuild, reform, and recreate the spirit of a nation of survivors. The notion of personal and spiritual independence and freedom is integral to the fiber of Haitian people. My husband, Blondel Joseph, and I are putting our skills together for a project of Hope and Resilience. I am a school psychologist and received my doctorate from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. For the past seven years, I have primarily worked with supporting Haitian students who have survived political, social, and physical trauma in the U.S. and Haiti. My husband is an artist and graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. He has facilitated several art workshops on identity and resilience for young people in the U.S., Europe, and Haiti. With our talents and experience, we are launching a program using the arts in Haiti. We want to facilitate art sessions for survivors and their families and create murals of hope throughout Haiti. We are calling the project Walls of Hope. In 2007, we began a community project in the north of Haiti. We have gotten word that many students we have worked with that were pursuing higher education opportunities in Port-au-Prince have lost their lives. Thus we have chosen to create our first mural in Saint Raphael, Haiti, where we plan to run retreats throughout the summer on our property. We are asking you to donate one or more tubes of acrylic (of all colors), paintbrushes, artist kits of various sizes, and tents. Wewill also take donations toward buying supplies in Haiti, such as food, tents, and sleeping bags, etc. for the retreats. We are hoping to collect 500 tubes of paint, 100 brushes, 20 sleeping bags, and 10 tents. We will use our own funds to construct the wall. Please let us know if you know of art therapists or any others who maybe willing to help facilitate the project in Haiti. And please send donations of any kind to 2800 SW 73rd Way, Apt. 1602, Davie, FL 33314. Also, feel free to contact us with questions or for additional details.
Warm Regards,
Blondel Joseph / Charlene Desir

How to talk to Children about Haiti Earthquake
A guide for parents/teachers on How to talk to Children about the News in Haiti
Good morning,
With much News coverage on television on the earthquake in Haiti. Many parents are concern about how to convey the news to their children.
Parents should provide age-appropriate information and keep in mind that there are graphic images seen on the news. These images/ photos are geared toward adults, not children. It is important to be mindful of the news content.
Good news, PBS.org has a guide to talking with children and the News. It gives age-by-age insights to help parents convey the News to their children and process what is seen on television.
The PBS site is:
www.pbs.org/parents/talkingwithkids/news/agebyage.html
Also there are other resource on this site- like Helping Our Children Feel safe by Authur.
Peace and light,

Film Review: The Cats of Mirikitani is Not to Miss!
The current disaster in Haiti has brought to mind many questions: What happens to a culture when its members suffer a collective event? How does the present remind us of the past in times of trauma and emergency? Can we ever "heal" deep psychological wounds?
This past Sunday, I headed over to Busboys & Poets in DC to watch a screening of The Cats of Mirikitani, a free event sponsored by PATA. The film tells the story of eighty-year-old Jimmy Mirikitani, an endearing street artist who once lived in a Japanese internment camp during WWII, and who lost most of his family to the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. While Jimmy is making art on the streets, Producer/Director Linda Hattendorf stops by and begins talking to Jimmy and learning about his story and his intriguing art. With her camera in hand, she documents their incredible journey together that is filled with emotion--laughter, anger, fear, and connection. During the filming, they suffer and confront 9/11 together, and they begin to unravel Jimmy's painful past that is embedded in his art.
The Cats of Mirikitani is a beautiful and intimate portrayal of how trauma affects the psyche and how friendship, creativity, respect, and empowerment have the ability to lift up those that have suffered enormous losses.
The film is being screened again this Sunday and next Sunday, sponsored by PATA. The event is FREE and open to the public--bring friends and family! In light of the tragedy in Haiti, this film offers an important and evocative look at trauma, and how we can band together to support each other in times of need and disaster. Details about the screenings are below.

Art Therapy/Art Ed Workshops - Baltimore, April 13 & 14
Expressive Media, Inc. and the National Art Education Association
Announce Collaborative Training Opportunity
Registration is now available online at www.expressivemedia.org/naea
The workshops have been designed by a group of 11 invited art therapist-educators from eight states, specifically for this inaugural collaboration. Topics for sessions are varied and practical, including: dealing with difficult adaptive art challenges, teaching students new ways to look at their art images, preventing dropouts, promoting social and emotional intelligence, even combating bullying and intolerance in the classroom. Featured art activities will include making 3D film animations, eco-portraits, and heritage collages. Group art therapy sessions will also be offered to help art educators and art therapists combat burnout. Continuing education credit is available.
According to Cohen, “We offered our first Institute of the Arts in Healing in July, and it was very well received. By collaborating with the NAEA, we will be able to deepen a dialogue between the professions that has been happening for decades, but never in such a dynamic format. The NAEA has been remarkably gracious, and we are really looking forward to this groundbreaking event.”
Expressive Media, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 1985 by art therapist and art educator, Judith A. Rubin, PhD, with her colleague Eleanor Irwin, PhD, drama therapist and psychoanalyst. Rubin is the author of the 1978 book, Child Art Therapy, currently in its third edition. EMI's focus has been on the production and distribution of films demonstrating “best practices” in the expressive arts for education and therapy. More training Institutes and print materials are in the works to further extend our educational mission.
Founded in 1947, the NAEA serves 20,000 active members at pre-kindergarten through grade 12 levels as wells as college professors, administrators, and museum educators. The NAEA National Convention is the largest gathering of visual arts educators in the world, and includes over 1000 educational sessions. .
Advance tickets are $59/workshop. Purchase as may as 4 workshops, total. Neither NAEA membership nor convention registration is required for workshop registration. Also scheduled is a FREE film festival on Tuesday evening from 7-10pm, open to everyone, drawn from EMI’s extensive film archive. It will feature footage of expressive arts therapists and adaptive art specialists at work in school settings. Dr. Judith Rubin, author of Child Art Therapy will be one of several guest speakers.

Comprised of sixteen hands-on, three-hour workshops on subjects of mutual interest to art therapists and art educators, the title of the Institute is “Art Education and Art Therapy: Drawing Parallels, Deepening Relationships.” It will be held at the Hilton Baltimore.
The workshops have been designed by a group of 11 invited art therapist-educators from eight states, specifically for this inaugural collaboration. Topics for sessions are varied and practical, including: dealing with difficult adaptive art challenges, teaching students new ways to look at their art images, preventing dropouts, promoting social and emotional intelligence, even combating bullying and intolerance in the classroom. Featured art activities will include making 3D film animations, eco-portraits, and heritage collages. Group art therapy sessions will also be offered to help art educators and art therapists combat burnout. Continuing education credit is available.
According to Cohen, “We offered our first Institute of the Arts in Healing in July, and it was very well received. By collaborating with the NAEA, we will be able to deepen a dialogue between the professions that has been happening for decades, but never in such a dynamic format. The NAEA has been remarkably gracious, and we are really looking forward to this groundbreaking event.”
Expressive Media, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 1985 by art therapist and art educator, Judith A. Rubin, PhD, with her colleague Eleanor Irwin, PhD, drama therapist and psychoanalyst. Rubin is the author of the 1978 book, Child Art Therapy, currently in its third edition. EMI's focus has been on the production and distribution of films demonstrating “best practices” in the expressive arts for education and therapy. More training Institutes and print materials are in the works to further extend our educational mission.
Founded in 1947, the NAEA serves 20,000 active members at pre-kindergarten through grade 12 levels as wells as college professors, administrators, and museum educators. The NAEA National Convention is the largest gathering of visual arts educators in the world, and includes over 1000 educational sessions.
Advance tickets are $59/workshop. Purchase as may as 4 workshops, total. Neither NAEA membership nor convention registration is required for workshop registration. Also scheduled is a FREE film festival on Tuesday evening from 7-10pm, open to everyone, drawn from EMI’s extensive film archive. It will feature footage of expressive arts therapists and adaptive art specialists at work in school settings. Dr. Judith Rubin, author of Child Art Therapy will be one of several guest speakers.
