Friends of Minidoka and Minidoka National Historic Site are pleased to welcome acclaimed Japanese American musician Kishi Bashi for three performances throughout Idaho to commemorate the 2024 Day of Remembrance.

Kishi Bashi will present his award winning A Song Film by Kishi Bashi: "Omoiyari” followed by a discussion and live musical performances. “Omoiyari” is a Japanese word that means to have sympathy and compassion towards another person.

In A Song Film by Kishi Bashi: "Omoiyari”, Kishi Bashi embarks on a transformative journey to confront his heritage and reconcile the painful history of Japanese American incarceration during World War II. Inspired by the rising tide of discrimination against marginalized communities, Kishi Bashi delves into the untold stories of incarceration survivors and composed an album titled Omoiyari that captures their experiences.

Please join us for this special commemoration!

Proceeds benefit Friends of Minidoka and Minidoka National Historic Site.
