Sonoma State University Anthropological Studies Center Research Grant Distribution Fund (2016)
During WWII, the forceful removal of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast sent nearly 120,000 people, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, into incarceration camps within our nation’s interior. Despite an unjust situation and harsh, unforgiving landscapes, internees prevailed, revealing an unbreakable spirit. Through items made by internees we get a glimpse into life at Colorado’s camp, Amache, and expose the surprising beauty and creativity that persisted, and even blossomed from behind barbed wire.
Sonoma County Matsuri co-sponsored the reception for Sonoma State University’s exhibit Creativity Unconfined: Life in a WWII Japanese American Internment Camp.
