Remembering Sites of Trauma
Photographer Haruka Sakaguchi spent two years visiting former Japanese American incarceration camps from the Second World War. In her project The Camps America Built, she photographed survivors and their families returning to these places. For these families, the camps are not simply historical locations. They are sites of trauma and memory. The photographs help preserve experiences that might otherwise be forgotten.

Remembering Through Travel
Writer Gary Shteyngart travelled through Uzbekistan, a country he had imagined since childhood through books and pictures of its famous Islamic architecture. His journey shows how books, photographs and stories can create memories of places before we ever visit them. When he finally experienced Uzbekistan, his childhood image of the country met its present reality.

Remembering 9/11 - Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, the memory of 9/11 is also changing. A new generation has grown up without personal memories of the attacks. For them, the event survives through photographs, videos, documentaries, oral histories and stories told by survivors. What was once a living experience is gradually becoming history.
