Curated by Sherri Shinobu Kajiwara, Director/Curator at the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre, Burnaby, BC with support from her Past Wrongs Future Choices project curatorial team: Ciel Dong, Naomi Keenan O’Shea, Sarah Stillwell, and Lesley Marshall.

DIS – displaced, dispersed, dispossessed pairs concurrent group exhibits at the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre and the University of Victoria Legacy Art Gallery, bringing together work from contemporary artists exploring the lasting influence of the Second World War on Nikkei communities globally.

Through installation, video, sculpture-informed 2D/3D work, performance, illustration, and text-based practices, participating artists engage inherited memory, cultural continuity, and intergenerational experience.
