- **Event Name**: Through Lange’s Lens: The Incarceration of Japanese Americans
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 12:00 pm – Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 01:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Dorothea Lange was hired by the federal government in 1942 to document Japanese Americans as they were exiled from their homes on the West Coast and confined in detention camps. Her images of the exiles’ humanity offered a powerful critique of the incarceration program, to the point that her photographs were confiscated and censored for the duration of the war. In this talk, Meredith Oda explores Lange’s images to better understand her perspective and the experiences of the Japanese Americans forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated without charge.
