The sex between couples videosJapanese American National Museum (JANM) and the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation (HMWF) will co-host a screening of spoken-word videos inspired by the Japanese American incarceration during World War II on Saturday, Feb. 17, at 5:30 p.m. at JANM’s Tateuchi Democracy Forum, First and Central in Little Tokyo.
A panel discussion with the filmmakers and a reception will take place directly after the screening.
The videos were created at the 2017 Heart Mountain Pilgrimage by participants ranging in age from 16 to 75, in collaboration with filmmakers Jeff MacIntyre and David Ono. Featuring spoken-word poetry, the videos touch on different aspects of the incarceration experience, from the ever-present sand to the seizure of land to love and commitment. With guidance from spoken-word artist G Yamazawa, the workshop participants were able to bring their stories to life. The videos were filmed and edited in the span of just two days.
The reception, hosted by the Japanese American Confinement Sites Consortium (Consortium), JANM, HMWF, and the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), will serve not only as a celebration of storytelling, but also as a welcome for the Consortium stakeholders who are meeting the next day to discuss the direction of the Consortium.
The Consortium includes representatives from organizations across the country who together pledge to preserve and interpret the confinement sites, artifacts and experiences related to the World War II experience of Japanese Americans. The group also aims to elevate the social justice lessons from this history to highlight ways that civil and human rights abuses put at risk the rights of all Americans.
The Consortium has been in development for two years, and received additional funding from the National Park Service in 2017 to facilitate its efforts.
The screening, discussion, and reception are free, but RSVPs are required for entry. Visit www.janm.org/events/2018/02/#17 or call (213) 625-0414.
