Project Subject/Topic
This project supports a range of activities around the screening of “Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust,” a film by Japanese American director Ann Kaneko. The film is about the Manzanar concentration camp in California and the dispossession of the Nüümü (Paiute) and News (Shoshone) lands called Payahüünadü, the place where the water always flows. Inspired by this layered understanding of history, this project provides a collaborative exploration of the horizons of harm in solidarity with the histories of Manzanar/Payahüünadü.
Film screening and panels are scheduled for January 26-27, 2023. For times, locations, and how to attend, view "Related Events" below.
