"This exhibition centers our 2024 series, Time is the Subject. This title has a double meaning: time is both the ‘subject’ in the sense of the topic, the issue at hand. And time is also the ‘subject’, in the sense of the perceiver, the witness, the human condition."

"In recognition of the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, Densho is launching a new community art initiative: the Memory Net Remembrance Project. In collaboration with Densho resident artist Lauren Iida, we invite submissions of “memory objects” that symbolize hope, strength, and/or resistance for you or your ancestors during WWII Japanese American incarceration. Lauren will select from these objects to incorporate into a 30-foot-long cut paper net to be hung as a semi-permanent installation in Densho’s community room. This project lives at the intersection of Densho’s shared commitment to art, archives, and activism, and we hope it prompts reflection and dialogue as we approach this upcoming milestone.
The Memory Net will be unveiled live on February 19th at 3pm PST. Please join us in this powerful act of remembrance!"
