About:
For my final project in the Art in a Time of War class I decided to make a series of propaganda style collages. I have generally been dissatisfied with the lack of education on even the most horrific atrocities to befall Asians in the American education system and wanted to highlight events that were often overlooked. I chose one of my pieces to be about the internment camp, Camp Harmony, that was at the Puyallup Fair since many people are not aware of its history.
