Allegiance coming to Broadway #100

For any of you folks in Los Angeles:  Fifty photographs by Ansel Adams of life at the Manzanar internment facility "will be on display in the Photographic Traveling Exhibitions show, 'Manzanar: The Wartime Photographs of Ansel Adams,' which is at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles from Oct. 8 to Feb. 21."    http://www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2015/09/15/ansel_adams_photographs_manzanar_war_relocation_center_in_the_exhibition.html

 

Some excerpts from the article:

 

"He [Adams] felt this was an injustice, […]  He tried to capture not only what was happening in the camps visually, but he wanted to know who these people were. He wanted to emphasize their loyalty as American citizens,” said Linde B. Lehtinen, Skirball’s assistant curator. 

 

"While Adams had broad access to the camp, he was not allowed to photograph barbed wire or guard towers, and all of his photos had to be approved by the War Relocation Authority."

 

"[...]  Adams’ work undoubtedly succeeds as a record of the resiliency of the internees. “They made it work despite the utter injustice of the situation. That’s part of what Merritt [Ralph Merritt, a friend of Adams, and the director of the Manzanar internment center] and Adams wanted to tap into, to show the strength of this community,” Lehtinen said.

Bit random, but it's interesting to see that this show will be getting its first international production in Japan in 2021. Stafford Arima will be directing again.
