The articles and artwork in this catalogue developed out of a three-year Arts Partnership project between the Japanese American National Museum and its Southern California neighbors. Institutional partners included the Korean American Museum, Plaza de la Raza, Watts Towers Arts Center, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, and the Skirball Cultural Center. The catalogue includes color reproductions of artwork that appeared in the exhibitions. In addition, the book includes interpretive essays, biographies of the artists, information on all of the institutional partners, and a classroom guide that gives examples of projects to encourage the sharing of family stories and cross-cultural dialogue.
