Something From Nothing: Art and Handcrafted Objects from America's Concentration Camps
As we mark the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, Something from Nothing: Art and Handcrafted Objects from America's Concentration Camps presents artifacts from the permanent collection of the National Japanese American Historical Society. These objects tell the story of disrupted lives, and the resourceful ways in which the American detainees survived bleak, unjust conditions by using available materials to recreate and preserve home, tradition, and community. Two art installations by contemporary artists Barbara Horiuchi and Marlene Iyemura provide later generations' reflection.
