Kayla Isomura is a Yonsei Japanese and Chinese Canadian photographer. With a background in journalism, her interest in storytelling through multimedia has largely been influenced from unpacking her Nikkei identity. In 2018, Kayla produced The Suitcase Project, a multimedia exhibition examining the effects of the internment and incarceration on Yonsei and Gosei Japanese Canadians and Americans. Based in Vancouver, Canada on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, Kayla is continuing to explore narratives of intergenerational trauma and racialized identity. When she’s not working behind the camera, Kayla can be found exploring the landscape around her.
