step up to the plate i have done speaking about my work before but having to distill my thoughts down to 140 seconds and convey them succinctly with timed images took it to a whole other level it was fun and gave me a sense of accomplishment i appreciated the opportunity to be on the stage with some real pros and to meet the other presenters it was a pleasure to discover that fellow speaker and historical preservation architect shawn evans was acutely interested in the santa fe interment camp he took my 1951 map of the casa solana neighborhood that had the internment camp placement on it and layered it over a current map the two of us walked through the area of where the camp once was looking at trees that may have been planted there it was a bittersweet experience wandering around with him and discussing his feelings about living in the area with this history if i were to come back he thought he could help me with having talks in the casa solana schools and community many native people spoke with me about their experiences with the camps including a young woman who was inspired to go see the marker and go to the other nm camps and a man who said his native uncle was picked up and put into the santa fe camp because he was mistaken for being japanese after hearing me speak a santa fe gallery invited me to be on a panel on healing war trauma with creativity speaking from the heart expressing your thoughts and what is important to you is a challenge to accept and seek out you never know where it can lead you sfai140 is an event that santa fe art institute puts on a couple

event this slideshow requires javascript during my artist residency at the santa fe art institute i learned that the history of the new mexico internment camps was not well known and people wanted to know more my focus became how could art bring understanding and connection to the communities in santa fe i wanted to inform the public about this history that has touched my own japanese american family and invite people of other cultures to express their stories of displacement unjust incarceration and immigration journeys i decided to create an experiential space incorporating modalities like drawing movement speaking listening and re enactment participants were invited to create a presence for those they wanted to remember just the simple task of striking a pose of a loved one and being outlined in red crayon connected the collaborators and spontaneous memories were shared these ancestor drawings on the gallery walls created a safe and sacred place for remembering it was a very moving event with many voices quiet support some tears and an overall powerful energy of compassion people traveled from as far away as taos las vegas and albuquerque to attend the walking meditation lead by eliane allegre with the music provided by glen neff put the participants in a contemplative space to consider stories of incarceration immigration and displacement 15 storytellers came forward to share internee memories and other difficult and heartfelt experiences the gallery event was followed by the visit to the santa fe internment marker it was chilly windy and clear beautiful day we carried symbolic suitcases like the prisoners traveling to a place unknown upon arriving the cases were opened and the folded cranes and flowers inside were used to embellish the marker historian and writer nancy bartlit and victor yamada of the nm japanese citizen league spoke about the marker history and future plans to bring more visibility to the history of the new mexican internment camps you may ask why is it important to share this history from 73 years ago in the united states today we are still imprisoning innocent families like those from central america in a world of terrorist atrocities the backlash of racial and ethnic prejudice is rampant we must find ways to understand and connect to each other and art is a powerful way to do it thank you to all of you who supported this special sharing event it couldn t have happened without the team of victor yamada sue rundstrom nancy bartlit santa fe art institute glen neff eliane allegre and many others thank you to the

working with the deep and wounded history of my ancestors today i had a good breakfast conversation with a friend she understands the work i am doing about the japanese internment camps in new mexico at the santa fe art institute she s lived here in new mexico long enough to know that there is rich tapestry of different cultures and communities and that makes researching and making art about the history of the camps even more complicated peeling the layers back can be raw and seeing the crisscrossing histories of the vets who were in the bhataan death march and experienced the brutality of the japanese army the injustice of the american concentration camps imprisoning innocent people of japanese ancestry and the los alamos creation of the bomb that killed so many in hiroshima and nagasaki i m wrapping my head around it after a month of research my friend said you are a flag bearer who makes sure people know the history so things don t happen again yet i find it so discouraging to see the central american immigrant families being imprisoned right now keeping my heart open is what sustains me i hope to bring light and witnessing to stories of injustice and imprisonment for all kinds of people my ritual performance will invite anyone to participate more info to come soon posted on october 24 2015 october 24 2015 by judy24 posted in ancestors art art museum art of judy

that come to mind as i ve been working on my sfai santa fe art institute art residency i ve been researching for two weeks the forced immigration of people of japanese ancestry to the santa fe concentration camp 4 555 men came through this prison and none of them had been charged with any wrong doing except that they had the face of the enemy even though i ve made art on the subject of the japanese american concentration camps over the years it still hits me hard that in america such injustice and racism existed and unfortunately still does how can america justify putting 120 000 innocents from babies to grandparents in prisons for 4 years how can police kill people of color over and over how can guantanamo still exist i ve started putting feelings and thoughts into color and texture not worrying about where i am going waiting to see what comes up what is appearing to me are figures of men many men fathers and uncles and sons who are in limbo waiting waiting being in the unknown not knowing if they will see their families again not knowing if they will ever be released a community engagement project is bubbling forming rising to embrace them to remember them to teach about them to acknowledge all peoples stories of injustice this slideshow requires javascript posted on october 13 2015 october 13 2015 by judy24 posted in ancestors art art of judy shintani community

sfai 2 comments visiting the department of justice santa fe concentration camp it is always strange to go visit a place that does not immediately reflect the historical events that occurred there driving through the pleasant casa solana neighborhood in santa fe one would have no clue that before these houses were built 4 555 men of japanese ancestry were unjustly imprisoned here from 1942 to 1946 they were separated from their wives children and families most lost their livelihoods and homes it is a beautiful fall day the light has a golden cast we soon arrive to the frank ortiz dog park it is made up of winding natural trails for hiking and dog walking my local guides japanese american sue rundstrom and artist jerry west lead me up to a ridge above the dog park and we looked down on the casa solana neighborhood a large grey granite boulder with a plaque stands overlooking where the department of justice santa fe concentration camp once was the plaque reads at this site due east and below the hill 4555 men of japanese ancestry were incarcerated in a department of justice internment camp from march 1942 to april 1946 most were excluded by law from becoming united states citizens and were removed primarily from the west coast and hawaii during world war ii their loyalty to the united states was questioned many of the men held here without due process were long time resident religious leaders businessmen teachers fishermen farmers and others no person of japanese ancestry in the u s was ever charged or convicted of espionage throughout the course of the war many of the internees had relatives who served with distinction in the american armed forces in europe and in the pacific this marker is placed here as a reminder that history is a valuable teacher only if we do not forget our past dedicated on april 20 2002 casa solana neighborhood now where the camp once was i asked my friends why there are no signs directing visitors to the marker and why it is not listed on the trail map in the dog park they said this was done intentionally because there was fear of vandalism that decision was made over 10 years ago i wonder now if there could be more signage and acknowledgement of the historical marker more on that issue and how the controversial marker came to be is an interesting story jerry west and sue rundstrom posted on october 10 2015 october 10
