‘Colors of Confinement: Rare Kodachrome Photographs of Japanese American Incarceration in World War II’ will be shown at the Japanese American National Museum. It presents 18 rare Kodachrome photographs taken by Bill Manbo during his incarceration at the Heart Mountain in Wyoming in 1943 and 1944. “The images are a paradox: vibrant, gorgeous photographs of a bleak historical episode... Their brilliant color also strips away the sense that these are “historical” photographs… While the images allow greater emotional connection with the pictured subjects than many black-and-white photographs do, they also interrogate and complicate viewers’ common assumptions about the nature of life behind barbed wire.” For more information please see the Japanese American National Museum’s website: (janm.org/exhibits/colors-of-confinement/).
