History in paper: Uncovering her family's lives in B.C. internment camps

"Being a fourth generation half-Japanese Canadian, it's essential to look back on the internment." »Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribe Memories carry a certain weight to them. We might describe a joyful memory as light or adversely a traumatic memory as being heavy. And it is this emotional weight that sometimes defines which memories we choose to share and which are too heavy for us to carry. Toronto-based artist Emma Nishimura has chosen to investigate heavy memories — including her own family's imprisonment in Japanese internment camps — as a source of inspiration: "Being a fourth generation half-Japanese Canadian, it's essential to look back on the internment." During World War II, over 22,000 Japanese-Canadians were evicted from the homes and sent to live in internment camps in British Columbia until the end of the war. Most of them were Canadian citizens by birth. Emma's grandmother was one of them. Four years after her grandmother passed away, she discovered a box of personal belongings. Inside were around 200 garments each made of brown craft paper. It was a glimpse into her grandmother's life in internment — one in which she was likely making clothes for those who were interned with her. In this video, created by filmmaker Alice Shin and producer Eiko Brown, we dive into Emma's deeply intricate and personal process of creating work that effectively acts as "a bridge between my work and my grandmother's work." For Alice, making this piece was quite serendipitous as she and Eiko have been developing an independent documentary about Japanese-Canadian internment camps over the past year and was recently selected to develop their piece in the Hot Docs Accelerator Lab.
