How do we tell personal narratives in ways that highlight our community’s broader history and impact? On October 29, 2021, Dakota Russell (Executive Director, Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation), Clement Hanami (Art Director, Japanese American National Museum), and Judy Hayami discussed preserving family stories using innovative ways to share the voices of Heart Mountain, as well as other WWII incarceration sites, in to order to inspire, advocate, and educate. Then, writer Sharon Yamato, actor Kurt Kanazawa, and Nonny de la Peña (Emblematic Group) talked about the process of developing the immersive virtual reality experience of "A Life in Pieces: The Diary and Letters of Stanley Hayami."
This program was presented live at JANM's Tateuchi Democracy Forum and also livestreamed as part of the JACSC 2021 Education Conference, Stronger Together: Voices to Inspire, Advocate, and Educate. For more information about virtual conference on October 30, 2021, visit jacsc.org/2021conference
