Over the artist's eight-decade career, Hibi was recognized for her oil works depicting her day-to-day during this period, shedding a light on the dark realities that more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans endured in incarceration during the war.
The works expand the Brooklyn Museum's representation of American and international creators from regions including the Caribbean, East Asia, and West Africa.
The museum also acquired works by two contemporary artists of Indigenous heritage. "Untitled (Pink and Blue)" (2022) by Dyani White Hawk (SiÄangu Lakota) features a striped pink and blue on canvas and the shadow of an arch - a shape that appears in several of White Hawk's works.
