A poetic act of radical caring to mark the 10th anniversary of the 311 Fukushima Disaster.
 
Oakland-based artists marksearch (Sue Mark & Bruce Douglas) in collaboration with Tokyo-based artists Hiroyuki Abe and Natsuka Endo, developed a virtual process to engage with young adults in the Tohoku region when it was not safe to travel. Using a trusted relational network, they recorded stories about safety, strength, and hopes for the future. From these recorded voices, the artists have created sonic haiku that is amplified through a trio of interactive, mobile sound monuments in the shape of tsunami stones.
 
On July 31 (Sat) and August 7 (Sat), the team will carry the monuments around the museum plaza from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.
