Join us for Night on the Town November 10th with a full line-up of events!

Opening Reception for Living at Amache Exhibit in the Dunning Gallery 6-8 PM (free admission) - JA-NE Cultural Mix-tape celebrates music, cultural traditions, and heritage through genre-bending live music, dance and Japanese cultural performance. Featured artists include emcee and beat-maker 3Two, taiko drummer Courtney Ozaki, hybrid folk dance/song with Akemi Tsutsui-Kunitake, Okinawan sanshin player Gabriel Batmanglidj, Matthew Ryan Durgin on banjo, and more. Artist Kotomo Yoshida will engage in a live and large-scale calligraphy brush painting.

The Ansel Adams: Manzanar exhibition currently on view in the Museum’s Main Gallery also includes photographs by Dorothea Lange. Both Lange and Adams documented the incarceration of people of Japanese descent during WWII, each with their own unique interpretation. Lange, working for the War Relocation Authority, photographed internees arriving at Manzanar in 1942, and Adams took photographs of everyday life in 1943 for a book project called Born Free and Equal. Karl Dukstein, MFA, Professor of Visual and Media Arts at Front Range Community College, will present a discussion of these differences both in composition and historical context and address various approaches to documentary practice.
