The Ireichō contains the first comprehensive listing of over 125,000 persons of Japanese ancestry who were incarcerated in the US Army, Department of Justice, Wartime Civil Control Administration, and War Relocation Authority camps. Embedded into the very materiality of the Ireichō are special ceramic pieces made from soil collected by the project from seventy-five former incarceration sites from Alaska to Hawai‘i, Arkansas to California, and from almost every other region of the United States. The Ireizō lists those names online at ireizo.com. Visitors can search for the person’s name by name, birth year, or camp.

Bullerengue and Beyond: Learning the Palenques of the South East Caribbean

When African enslavement is brought up, resistance is often left out. Masters were poisoned, fires were set, martial arts were used, but have you heard of maroon towns? These were entire communities developed by self-liberated (formerly enslaved) Africans, and their descendants still occupy them today. Not only that, there is a rich culture and music that was (and continues to be) composed in these maroon towns. Different regions of the diaspora have different names for maroon towns. Brazil calls them…

My Own Private Rodeo, by Coyote Park

My Own Private Rodeo — an exhibition of new works by Coyote Park.  Navigating the world in a body that has been desecrated, reclaimed, brutalized, and empowered, Coyote Park asks. “What does it mean for myself to exist in a way that my elders weren’t allowed to?” These works move through feelings of grief, mourning, loss, pride, redemption, and play. A rodeo of aching glory: where they are the hunter, the hunted, the bull, and the rider.
