Guide to Camp Homes

When Kevin Miyazaki was a child, there was something his family rarely discussed . His father’s family was interned in American camps during World War II. Now let’s not mince words here.  His father’s family is Japanese and lived in Takoma, Washington. But after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, Japanese-Americans were rounded up and put into concentration camps. Kevin went on to be a successful fine arts photographer. But one day his family’s past merged with his art.

Kevin's work is on view as a part of the 2013 Wisconsin Triennial at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. Click here to see the photos he discussed in the interview and to read his catalogue "Guide to Modern Camp Homes: 10 New Models and Plans for Persons of Japanese Ancestry."
