Day of Remembrance 2026: School of Memory Keeping

Hello friends of Yonsei Memory Project,

This year for Day of Remembrance, we offer virtual gatherings in our new initiative: School of Memory Keeping. We believe memory keeping can connect us and unlock portals of ancestral wisdom and creative power. 

The week of Day of Remembrance, February 16 - 20 (11:30 am - 12:30 pm Pacific) each day will offer a one-hour guided memory keeping activity in a shared zoom room (register here!).

The memory keeping activities are short facilitated exercises designed to allow you to explore ancestors and remind us how exercising our imaginations and attention can bring us new understandings. Each day will offer a different activity. You are welcome to come to one, some, or all days. 

In the spirit of the first Day of Remembrance in 1978, memory keeping of our Japanese American histories is profound, powerful, and political. 

Join us for a supportive shared space to explore the past as it connects us to each other and can nourish us forward. 

With unrelenting belief in our communities,

Nikiko + Patricia
