Surviving Tsunami: Photographs in the Aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake

This exhibition presents material from a volunteer-led project in Japan to salvage and conserve historic photograph collections after two museums and a library in Rikuzentakata, Iwate Prefecture, were destroyed in the 2011 tsunami. A team of more than sixty volunteers continues to work on the RD3 Project, drying, cleaning, digitising and documenting over 65,000 photographs, many of which record life in the Tohoku region over the last century.
