America in Times of Conflict: Art of the Internment Camp- Culture Behind Barbed Wire In-Person
In 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt's WWII executive order 9066 forced the removal of nearly 125,000 Japanese American citizens from the west coast to ten remote camps in seven western states. Arizona Humanities Road Scholar Betsy Fahlman tells the story of government photographers Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, and Ansel Adams and artists including Toyo Miyatake, Chiura Obata, and Isamu Noguchi, who all made powerful records of camp life. ASU professor Betsy Fahlman will present on the lasting legacy of these artists who experienced the camps up close. This project is supported by the Arizona Humanities, and the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services
