Tonight at The Exploration Place!

Tonight at The Exploration Place!Attention Members:

Get a sneak peek at the latest travelling exhibit in the George Phillips Exhibit Gallery tonight from 5:30pm-7:00pm at our Members-Only Opening of Broken Promises.

Broken Promises is here from the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre in Burnaby. Grounded in research from Landscapes of Injustice – a 7-year multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, community-engaged project, this exhibit explores the dispossession of Japanese Canadians in the 1940s. It illuminates the loss of home and the struggle for justice of one racially marginalized community.

Learn about life for Japanese Canadians in Canada before war, the administration of their lives during and after war ends, and how legacies of dispossession continue to this day.

theexplorationplace.com/event/broken-promises-members-only-opening/

Broken Promises opens to the general public on September 23rd.
