About this event

Arts • Fine Art

For nearly 70 years, a collection of handwritten letters remained hidden within the walls of Denver’s former T.K. Pharmacy. The letters were mail-order requests from Japanese Americans held in War Relocation Authority incarceration camps during World War II.


Dean Terasaki, whose uncles owned the pharmacy, has traveled the west to photograph the historical sites to reunite the letters with the locations where they were written. Echoes Unearthed, a selection from his Veiled Inscriptions series, explores the layers of loss experienced by the Japanese American community during WWII and its lingering effects on today’s descendants.
