DESCRIPTION:The K Gallery at Rhythmix Cultural Works presents Uprooted, an exhibit 
 honoring the spirit and resilience of those affected by the Japanese 
 internment of WWII, June 11th - July 30th. An opening reception will be 
 held Saturday, June 11th from 2:00 - 4:00pm featuring live music by Akira 
 Tana.\n\nDuring WWII over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were uprooted 
 from their homes, communities and jobs and involuntarily sent to live in 
 guarded barracks – internment camps located in desolate parts of America. 
 The images and writings in Uprooted reveal different aspects of this shared 
 memory of loss and relocation.\n\nUprooted features calligraphy from the 
 Heart Mountain Tachibana Ginsha, “standing flower poetry club,” typed 
 letters written by newlywed May Okada while interned at Tule Lake, along 
 with the work of contemporary artists Dana Kawano, Scott Tsuchitani and 
 Ellen Bepp.\n\nAll three Japanese American contemporary artists are 
 influenced by this same dark moment in history.\n\nDana Kawano’s Kasa 
 Project gives visual interpretation to stories told by survivors of the 
 Japanese American incarceration. Scott Tsuchitani investigates visual 
 culture as dynamic process by combining poignant narrative with unexpected 
 humor and latent stereotype. Ellen Bepp’s paper cut-outs give voice to 
 her Japanese cultural roots while addressing issues of political identity, 
 social injustice and displacement.\n\n
