WHAT: 二度と(NI DO TO): an XR pilgrimage is a transformative lobby experience that implores audiences to explore and invest in shared connection and ancestral trauma through the narrative of Japanese American incarceration and resilience as well as multi-cultural alliance. Audiences are invited to experience it through mixed-reality, technology opportunities at the Ferst Center for the Arts in Atlanta, Georgia with interactive and reflective activities that explore current/future solidarities with communities facing the violence of xenophibic policies.This experience is an opportunity for audiences to intimately encounter the research and creative process of live performance through history. 

Exhibit Includes: An Interactive Hologram to learn Nobuko Miyamoto’s Bon Odori original Japanese folk dance - Kangie, a poetry machine in memory of San Francisco Poet Laureate Janice Mirikitani, Fortune Telling/Community Fortunes designed by Ida Yoshinaga and Jerushia Graham with GT Students, an interactive Art Installation to reflect upon how we may ensure that these tragedies of incarceration will Never Again happen, and a collective memory video game designed by Max Woo where we unpack history by packing our bags to travel to an undisclosed destination.  How do we pack only what we can carry?  What parts of ourselves do we leave behind? Audiences will also have an opportunity to view our dance film Out of the Dust.
