Beauty Beyond the Barbwire explores the work of select Japanese American Artists incarcerated by the US government during WWII (1942-1945) and their descendants. On Saturday, June 22, the Raymond Farm Center will host a series of short presentations by authors, artists, and scholars on those affected by incarceration and then went on to make significant contributions to American art and design in the 20th and 21st Centuries. Following the presentations will be a panel discussion about the experience of that time, the forbearance of these remarkable people, and a reflection on the ongoing struggle for social justice, civil rights, and the fight against racial discrimination, and violence towards the Asian community in contemporary America.
June 22 symposium registration includes a light breakfast, lunch, and a reception.
