art exhibition

KEN OKIISHI: A MODEL CHILDHOOD 

organized by the Department of Art & Art History

through May 6, 2022 
Closed December 10, 2021 – January 9, 2022 for winter break
The Art Gallery, Art Building [map]
Gallery Hours: Sunday – Thursday 12 – 4pm

The exhibition focuses on ruptures and paradigm shifts that destroy not only continuity in living one’s life, but the ability to think in coherent streams of thought, and conjectures that these modes of dis-formation are important central dis-organizing principles of writing American history. In A Model Childhood, Okiishi approaches history through the lens of family and oral history, bringing both an intimacy and complexity to official narratives of the time period. Immediately after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Okiishi’s grandfather, following a frantic phone call from his brother, whose house had just been searched by the Honolulu police looking for connections to Japan, decided to suddenly unload all traces of the family’s Japanese possessions by dumping them into Māmala Bay. This leitmotif of American identity formation haunts what ensues. MORE
