Over the past year, artworks have been created for each of the 208 people who died as civilian internees in Australia or on their way to Australia during World War II.  Most were born in Japan, but also include Taiwanese, Thai, and Korean people who settled in the Dutch East Indies, Kanaky / New Caledonia, Australia, Tonga, Aotearoa / New Zealand, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea. Guided by artist Mayu Kanamori, together we will create a collage of all the artworks, which will be displayed during the Immersia festival. Each name will be called through an evocative sound installation while we work to build our communal collage. Please join us to create this moving memorial to ordinary people, who have been all but erased from history, and celebrate the complexity and timeless importance of identity.
