From Spanish colonial missions to WWII concentration camps to present day ICE run “family detention centers,” the history of the U.S. is marked by mass incarceration due to racism and xenophobia. In 1942, Crystal City detention facility opened in south Texas as one of the many sites around the U.S. used to incarcerate those of Japanese ancestry during WWII. Unique to Crystal City, many of these internees had been deported from Latin America to the U.S. This panel of Japanese American and Latinx artists and experts will speak not only to these communities' connected histories of violence and displacement, but also to the interwoven stories of resistance and community power that were built out of these times of pressure.

Celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander Latinx Festival at MOLAA as we explore the instances of cultural synthesis between Asian, Pacific Islander & Latinx Communities in the US and throughout Latin America. We examine these narratives throughout the month of May in partnership with the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) and the Pacific Island Ethnic Art Museum (PIEAM).
