Irei - A National Monument for the WWII Japanese American Incarceration Launches at JANM |
|
Led by USC Ito Center Director Duncan Ryuken Williams and Project Creative Director Sunyoung Lee, the Irei Monument Project expands and re-envisions what a monument is through three distinct, interlinking elements: a sacred book of names as monument (慰霊帳 Ireichō), an online archive as monument (慰霊蔵 Ireizō), and light sculptures as monument (慰霊碑 Ireihi). Drawing on traditions of monuments built in America’s internment and concentrations camps—such as the Manzanar Ireito, the Amache Ireito, and Rohwer’s Ireihi (Soul Consolation Towers or Monuments)—the project aims to memorialize the past and repair the fractures caused by America’s racial karma. The Ireichō (a large-sized book of names) contains the first comprehensive listing of over 125,000 persons of Japanese ancestry who were incarcerated in US Army, Department of Justice, Wartime Civil Control Administration, and War Relocation Authority camps. Embedded into the very materiality of the Ireicho are special ceramic pieces made from soil collected by the project from seventy-five former incarceration sites from Alaska to Hawaii, Arkansas to California, and from almost every other region of the United States. |
