Civil Liberties Symposium 5: Civil Liberties & the Arts
“I hate injustice. I guess that’s about the only thing that I really do hate . . . and I hope I will go on hating it all my life.” - Artist Ben Shahn (1898-1969)
Presented by: National Park Service, Minidoka National Historic Site, Friends of Minidoka, and College of Southern Idaho
June 24 &25, 2010
Canyon Crest Event Center, Twin Falls, Idaho
8:30a - 5pm
This year’s event will explore the role that art plays in periods of conflict over civil liberties and will utilize several perspectives, including the long and continuing struggle for civil rights. Japanese Americans in camps like Minidoka used art in various ways to cope with their incarceration and to make statements about that experience and this will be a focus of the conference. Artists have continued to revisit this period and continue to inform us about its significance in the continuing struggle for justice. All facets of artistic expression will be examined, including photography, literature, painting, film, and music.
