The Civil Liberties Project SUMMER 2023
The Civil Liberties Project is a collaboration between The AjA Project and Mid-City CAN. It is rooted in studying the Japanese American Incarceration period in the United States and how the civil liberties of a community came to be violated under US executive order 9066. 

The project includes various workshops including: educational lectures, field trips, and multimedia art lessons. Participants in this project will make critical connections between the current political climate and WWII era events surrounding the forced removal and incarceration of civilians and residents of Japanese ancestry.
 
Participants of this project will explore various photo solutions and art making practices and have the opportunity to create a photographic portfolio which will be part of a culminating exhibition for the public.

What are Civil Liberties?
Civil Liberties are defined as rights and freedoms that governments cannot take away by legislation or judicial interpretation without due process (fair and just treatment). 

Though the scope of the term differs between countries, civil liberties may include the freedom of conscience, press, religion, expression, of assembly, and speech. As well as the right to privacy, the right to security and liberty, the right to equal treatment under the law and due process, the right to a fair trial, and the right to life.
