World War Bonsai: Remembrance and Resilience

<p>For this episode of Asymmetry, the Mirai team visited the Pacific Bonsai Museum to shine a light on the current exhibit, World War Bonsai: remembrance and resilience. Eve Sczechowski sits down with museum curator Aarin Packard and researcher Nancy Ukai, who is the director of a digital project called 50 Objects/Stories: The American Japanese Incarceration. Listen and understand Nancy's perspective as a Japanese American with family members who were unjustly incarcerated during the 1940's, and understand how this history has majorly influenced the story of American bonsai. </p> <p>To see more about the exhibit at the Pacific Bonsai Museum, check out: <a href='https://pacificbonsaimuseum.org/on-view/exhibits/'>https://pacificbonsaimuseum.org/on-view/exhibits/</a></p> <p>To read more about Nancy Ukai and her 50 Objects digital project, check out:  <a href='https://50objects.org/about/'>https://50objects.org/about/</a></p>
