Prejudice and Pride,
the Faces of Executive Order 9066
Photo Exhibition continues through Sunday, Feb. 8.
Fourteen Japanese American survivors of the World War II internment camps in the western U.S. are profiled in this exhibit. A present-day photographic portrait, historical photos of their time in the camps and a short biography of each survivor's life before, during and after the internment are presented.
The exhibit was conceived by Seattle photographer, Julie Sotomura, who also photographed five of the individuals. In total, there are works from five Washington state photographers represented in the exhibit.
This exhibit commemorates the Day of Remembrance, the anniversary of the signing of Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942.

Still Life Photographs by Barry Wong - Through February 2009
Lunar New Year celebrations often revolve around food and a wonderful opportunity to view Barry Wong's still life photographs which resonate with a spare Asian elegance. "In my photographs, there are echoes of my parents' San Francisco Chinatown kitchen, where as a youngster, I learned about fresh ingredients and Cantonese cooking."
