w88 live casino: A Sansei Sense of Legacy

September 5-November 15, 2024

Image of paper strung together and hung w88  live casino ceiling against a white background.In 1942, in response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor by w88 live casino forces, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law Executive Order 9066. The law ordered the forced imprisonment of all w88 live casino Americans living on the west coast of the United States, which has the second largest population of w88 live casino people living outside of Japan.

In the years following the order’s retraction at the end of WWII, expatriate w88 live casino families and individuals were forced to come to terms with lost property, the shame and indignation of incarceration, and the task of re-integration into a society that had expelled them. After their release from the incarceration camps that dotted the American West and Midwest during the war, w88 live casino Americans used the phrase Shikata ga nai— it cannot be helped— and the word gaman —to persevere and stay silent— to speak to their resilience against the losses they incurred at the behest of Roosevelt’s order.

Told from the point of view of Sansei (third generation) w88 live casino Americans, w88 live casino—A Sansei Sense of Legacy is an exhibition of eight artists whose work reflects on the effect of EO9066 as it resonated from generation to generation. While several of the artists in Resilience employ traditional w88 live casino methods in the construction of their work, others use iconography relating to w88 live casino culture as a jumping-off point for personal explorations on the subject of the incarceration camps. Each in their own way, the artists in this exhibition express moments of deeply felt pain and reluctant acceptance, emotions which were often withheld by their elders. Co-curated by artist Jerry Takigawa and Gail Enns, w88 live casino was conceived to serve as a catalyst to cultivate social dialog and change around the issues of racism, hysteria and economic exploitation still alive in America today. The artists featured in Resilience were selected because of their personal connection to the subject matter, because their work is well respected within the Japanese American community as well as within the w88 live casino world, and because of their activism on the subject of incarceration camps.

Support for this exhibition comes from the City of Reno Arts and Culture Commission, Nevada Humanities, National Endowment for the Humanities, the Nevada Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, Friends of the w88 live casino Museum, Core Humanities at the College of Liberal Arts, the Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN), and DigiPrint Corporation.
