Two Views at the Surrey Museum

While I was at the City of Vancouver Archives today I noticed a striking poster for a show at the Surrey Museum which looks very interesting. It's an exhibition of photographs of WWII Japanese internment camps by Ansell Adams and Leonard Frank. They are also having a special community talk and tea on October 22.

Here's the info from their website:

Two Views

Experience two perspectives of Japanese Canadians and Japanese Americans during their internment in the 1940s. The reality of forced separation and uprooting of families is portrayed through striking black and white photographs by Ansell Adams and Leonard Frank. Adams highlighted the personal stories of those who were interned, while Frank documented the government process, creating a contrasting and thought-provoking exhibit. Presented by Japanese Canadian National Museum.
On display September 13-October 29
