Transcendients: Heroes at Borders
February 2020 - May 2021
Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles, California
WORKS VIRTUAL WALKTHROUGH
Transcendients: Heroes at Borders honors individuals who advocate and fight for those who face discrimination, prejudice, and inequality at borders both physical or psychological. Through video projections on mist, photographic weavings, and audience participation, visitors to this multimedia exhibition are invited to learn about, reflect on, and celebrate heroes in Los Angeles, across the nation, and within their own lives.
The heroes featured in the exhibition—some well-known, but most unsung—were identified through extensive outreach to communities and neighborhoods throughout L.A. and beyond.
Transcendients: Heroes at Borders was exhibited at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, from February 1, 2020 to May 16, 2021.
