 693-71d2-40bd-ac3f-d48b58aa7bf2&quot;&gt;VIRTUAL RSVP&lt;/a&gt;\n\nJANM’s newest exhib
 ition\, &lt;em&gt;BeHere / 1942: A New Lens on the Japanese American Incarcerat
 ion&lt;/em&gt;\, by artist &lt;strong&gt;Masaki Fujihata&lt;/strong&gt;\, invites visitors 
 to experience the photographic archive of the 1942 forced removal of Japan
 ese Americans in new ways\, including through two augmented reality instal
 lations. Join us for a conversation with Fujihata and National Book Founda
 tion Lifetime Achievement Award medalist\, &lt;strong&gt;Karen Tei Yamashita&lt;/s
 trong&gt;\, about the exhibition and installations. Like the exhibit and inst
 allations\, this event is co-presented by JANM and the Yanai Initiative fo
 r Globalizing Japanese Humanities at UCLA and Waseda University\, Tokyo.\n
 \nOpening exactly eighty years after Exclusion Orders 32 and 33 forced Jap
 anese Americans to leave Little Tokyo\, &lt;em&gt;BeHere / 1942&lt;/em&gt; mobilizes
  a variety of media forms to let visitors engage with this dark history. T
 hrough careful curation of little-known photographs by Dorothea Lange and 
 Russell Lee\, some presented in hyper-enlarged form or reimagined as video
 \, &lt;em&gt;BeHere / 1942&lt;/em&gt; allows visitors to discover things in the arch
 ive that they never knew were there. Cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) t
 echnology takes the discovery a step further\, inviting visitors to become
  photographers themselves\, actually participating in the scene.\n\nThe ex
 hibit inside JANM is complemented by a groundbreaking public AR installati
 on in the plaza between the museum’s main campus and the historic Nishi 
 Hongwanji Buddhist Temple. Here\, a dedicated &lt;em&gt;BeHere / 1942&lt;/em&gt; app
  lets visitors step into the past\, and walk among Japanese Americans on t
 he verge of leaving for the camps. Realized with the participation of memb
 ers of the local Japanese American community\, this recreation includes th
 ree people who themselves experienced life in the camps as children.
