SUMMARY:Ireicho National Tour 2025-2026
DESCRIPTION:The Book of Names National Monument for the WWII Japanese American Incarceration National Tour 2025-2026\nOn February 18\, 2025\, we launched an ambitious effort to bring the Ireichō\, a book monument containing the names of 125\,284 individuals of Japanese ancestry unjustly incarcerated during World War II\, to different camps and communities throughout the US.\nThe tour kicked off at the National Archives/Navy Memorial Visitors’ Center in Washington DC\, where the Book of Names was displayed alongside the original copy of Executive Order 9066. The 100-year old Masaharu Ishii stamped his sister’s name in the Ireichō to officially kick off the national tour which continued with stamping opportunities to commemorate the Day of Remembrance at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History from February 19-21\, 2025. \n\nNamed after the Japanese term for “consoling the spirits\,” the Ireichō monument honors both those who have gone before us as well as those who carry on the memories and legacies of forced removal\, unjust incarceration\, and family separation. Every visitor to the monument is invited to contribute to the creation of the monument by marking one or more names in the Ireichō with a blue hanko stamp. For many camp survivors and descendants\, leaving this mark has been a way to honor the personhood of a family member who suffered the indignities and losses of the wartime incarceration. \n\nYou are the monument to this history. By participating in the stamping of the book during the national tour\, you\, too\, become part of the permanent record of the names and the honoring of them. The tour will run to late summer 2026\, when the Ireichō will be formally gifted to the Japanese American National Museum by the Irei Project. JANM is our partner for the national tour\, as part of JANM on the Go.

SUMMARY:Lost & Found: Searching for Home
DESCRIPTION:Through September 14\, 2026. This exhibition explores the complex relationship between place and belonging through the lens of Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) identity. In this exhibit\, artists unpack attempts to reconnect with their cultural homelands\, through both physical and emotional journeys\, to answer the timeless question: where and what defines “Home”? \nExpressed in a variety of media including painting\, video and installations\, this uniquely AANHPI perspective inspires conversation to both empower and challenge our perceptions of home and highlight the challenges to finding belonging in diaspora. The exhibition features captivating work from a diverse range of artists including including Eric Chan / 陳志宇 / 진지유\, Lauren Iida\, Ravleen Kaur\, and Kyler Pahang.

SUMMARY:DISplace
DESCRIPTION:June 13\, 2025 to January 4\, 2027. \nCo-curated by Native Hawaiian artist and kapa-maker\, Lehuauakea\, and artist and educator\, Kanani Miyamoto\, this exhibition sheds light on the often-overlooked histories and movement of people who connect Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Northwest since the arrival of the first documented Native Hawaiians to the West Coast in 1787. \nDISplace features visual art by regional Native Hawaiian creatives\, family stories and ephemera\, historic photographs\, and archival objects to honor these histories and reclaim the narrative through the voices of families and individual descendants today. \nThe co-curators\, both members of the mixed-Native Hawaiian diaspora\, draw parallels between their lived experiences and those of others who have relocated or have ties to the Pacific Northwest\, contextualized by a larger timeline of significant historical events. \n‘Dis place’ — this place — is a nod to the pride and resilience of these communities in the face of displacement from their original homelands. DISplace is a crucial step in recovering and celebrating these important AAPI (Asian American/Pacific Islander) histories while building an ongoing narrative of collective resilience and growing legacy no matter where we call home.
