“GAMBATTE! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit” Photographs by Paul Kitagaki, Jr.
November 4, 2016 – April 30, 2017
“GAMBATTE! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit” is the first body of work devoted to capturing the past and the present of Executive Order 9066 through photographs and oral histories. Executive Order 9066 was issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, which led to the imprisonment of nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. Through the juxtaposition of historic images and contemporary portraits of the same individuals if their descendants, Kitagaki takes us on a visual exploration of the Japanese concept of Gambatte, or triumph over adversity.
Companion exhibits at same time/place: “Behind Barbed Wire: Japanese American Incarceration in Arizona”, and
“Art of Circumstance: Art & Artifacts Created by Japanese Americans incarcerated during WWII” .
