Two countries – two photographers. This compelling collection of photographs presents two views of internment and incarceration in the early 1940s.
The 1942 incarceration of people of Japanese descent in the United States and Canada following the bombing of Pearl Harbor is portrayed through this stunning collection of black and white photographs. Ansel Adams and Leonard Frank document the conditions and experiences of the Manzanar camp in California, and the camps and beet farms in Alberta, where coastal British Columbia residents were forcibly moved.
Exhibit is open Wednesdays-Sundays.
