Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Bainbridge Island, WA - To Jun 12
On the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s authorization of the internment of “all persons deemed a threat to national security,” Jan Hopkins and Chris Hopkins have created artworks commemorating the racist tragedy that befell Japanese Americans. The exhibition combines documentary evidence with paintings, sculptures, prints and photographs relating to the chronicle of Jan’s family’s ordeal during World War II, for a show described as “engaging, beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.”
