Submit Your Story + Portrait

TRANSCENDIENTS: Immigrant Stories of Place is highly dependent on community participation. That is why we are asking for the community to share their immigration stories (along with a portrait). The stories and portraits received will become the foundation for the artwork. Portraits will be projected and re-photographed through vapor to create contemporary works of art to be showcased within the installation. Audio-accounts of stories will also be captured to create 3D soundscapes to create a truly immersive experience.

Do you or someone you know have a moving story of immigration to the United States? Share your story and portrait here.

WE ARE A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS.

* If you would like to submit anonymously, please write "Anonymous" in "Subject's Name". Please note the portrait submitted will be re-photographed through vapor and in some cases will be unrecognizable.

* The photos submitted will be treated with deepest respect. Stories can come from your own experience as an immigrant yourself, or the immigration story of a friend or family member.

TRANSCENDIENTS: Immigrant Stories of Place is a community-driven traveling art exhibit by Terasaki Exhibitions. The contemporary pop-up exhibit showcases the unique immigrant communities and immigration history specific to each city it travels to through technology-based storytelling, contemporary portraiture, and immersive experiences.

“I am a descendant of immigrants. My parents were interned in the Japanese Relocation Camps during World War II. It is acutely painful for me to see echoes of history in current times. American policy makers are mistreating refugees and economic migrants that endure great challenges to flee violence, poverty, injustice, and brutality in their home countries. We need to do more to embrace diversity and multi-culturalism. I want to invite our community to celebrate and poetically hold space for the many immigrants that make up who we are as a nation”

- Taiji Terasaki, Executive Director & Artist at Terasaki Exhibitions
