Photographs by Leslie Hossack explore the experience of Japanese Canadians during World War II when they were registered, rounded up and removed. REGISTERED includes newspaper clippings from the 1940s, authentic registration cards, and interpretive photographs of buildings where the story unfolded. This exhibition, which looks at the people, the places and the press, has recently shown at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Ottawa. Leslie Hossack has previously completed major studies of iconic architecture in Paris, Berlin, Jerusalem, Moscow, Kosovo and London.
