Join us for the 19th Annual Petrie Institute of Western American Art Symposium at the Denver Art Museum on January 24 from 10am to 5:30pm. Doors open at 9am. Art as Agency: Creating Beauty at Amache and Beyond During World War II, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated from their homes on the West Coast and into American concentration camps, where they lived in uncomfortable barracks while battered by extreme climates without knowing when their unjust incarceration would end. For many, the arts became avenues to beauty, comfort, and survival in the face of prejudice. Inspired by the exhibition "The Life and Art of Tokio Ueyama," the Petrie Institute’s 19th annual symposium explores how painting, gardening, screen printing, and other art forms helped reassert humanity, creativity, and resilience at camps including the Granada Relocation Center in Southeast Colorado, now the Amache National Historic Site. Can't make it in person? Buy a virtual ticket to gain access to the event livestream. Ticketing Information: Museum Friends: $20 in-person tickets; $10 virtual tickets Members: $30 in-person tickets; $15 virtual tickets Nonmembers: $40 in-person tickets; $20 virtual tickets Students: FREE in-person and virtual tickets Learn more and register:?https://bit.ly/3ZFd1mv Images left to right: “Amache guide book cover, printed by the Amache Silk Screen Shop, ca. 1943-1945, scanned image.,” Densho Encyclopedia (accessed Sep 30 2024).
