This multimedia performance takes a look at the WWII Japanese American incarceration from the inside out, highlighting how Buddhists behind barbed wire drew on their spiritual traditions to survive dislocation, loss and uncertainty, and maintained their faith in the Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom.
This event is held in conjunction with the exhibition “Then They Came for Me: Incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties” running until May 27, 2019.
