The three women celebrated in this exhibition should be known to us but they are not. Trailblazing Japanese American artists of the 20th century, Hibi and Okubo suffered the same detour: they were sent to Japanese internment camps during W.W. II. “Pictures of Belonging,” which is touring nationally, explores the lived experiences and artistic identities of these women before, during, and after that unjust and painful period for Japanese Americans. The show is now at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, in Salt Lake City, through June 30, and then opens at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, in Washington, D.C., on November 15. The tour continues through 2026 and includes three more venues. —Lucy Horowitz
