When You Call My Name<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is a collaborative project honouring civilians who were brought from Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, across Australia and Aotearoa \/ New Zealand as \u2018Japanese enemy aliens\u2019 to be interned in Australia and Aotearoa \/ New Zealand during World War II, and died during internment.<\/p>\n

They include 26 people from Taiwan and one from Korea, who were included among the Japanese because Taiwan and the Korean Peninsula were under the rule of Japan during the Pacific War. There are also three people from Thailand, who were originally interned in Aotearoa \/ New Zealand, and died in a plane crash on their way to be interned in Australia.<\/p>\n

193 people are now buried in the Japanese Cemetery in Wiradjuri Country in Cowra, New South Wales, Australia; 12 people who died in the plane crash are buried at the Waikumete Cemetery in T\u0101maki Makaurau \/ Auckland; two who died on the voyage to Australia from Indonesia (the then Dutch East Indies) were buried at sea; the remains of one who died on Matiu \/ Somes Island were taken back to his family in Tonga by a friend; and one is unknown.<\/p>\n

The project gave every participant an information kit on a particular internee to \u2018adopt\u2019. The participant was then asked to respond to their learnings with a 2D artwork, or a photograph of a work, which includes the name of the internee.<\/p>\n

The artworks will be exhibited online, as a print catalogue and also be collated as a part of a large-scale group collage for exhibitions.<\/p>\n

Our first exhibition will be held at the Australian National University in September 2025.<\/p>\n
