Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023 at 4:30 pm, the festival version of Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust will screen at UCR ARTS, accompanying the Climates of Inequality exhibition, organized by the Humanities Action Lab. In addition to the screening, this event launches the Manzanar, Diverted Augmented Reality visual sound bath. Before the screening, Alexander Miranda, member of the composing team and a Payómkawichum (Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians) artist, will play his array mbira, accompanying visuals from the 360 degree visual sound bath. After the screening, Ann and Jin will be on hand with VR headsets for those who would like to view the AR visual sound bath of scenes of Payahüünadü in VR mode. The 360 videos will also be posted and released on-line.

Logline: At the foot of the majestic snow-capped Sierras, Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp, becomes the confluence for memories of Payahuunadü, the now-parched “land of flowing water.” Intergenerational women from Native American, Japanese American and rancher communities form an unexpected alliance to defend their land and water from Los Angeles.

Choose photo dump #2. @annakemikaneko and @jykfilm

Choose photo dump #2. @annakemikaneko and @jykfilms were surrounded by beautiful landscape, nature, and wildlife. After the lab was over we went to check out Valparaiso, a bohemian and artsy seaside village. The last two photos show the same staircase. When you look down it looks like a regular staircase but when you look up from below the stairs almost all have an accordion style art. A good lesson in life to always look at things from a different perspective.
