Artist Lauren Iida is artist-in-residence at Denshō, a Seattle nonprofit whose name is a Japanese term meaning “to pass on to the next generation,” or to leave a legacy. Denshō’s mission is to document the experiences of Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during WWII. For the organization’s latest project, Iida created a cut-paper “memory net” in recognition of the 80th anniversary of the federal order authorizing the forcible removal and incarceration of people of Japanese descent on the West Coast.
