Ann Sherif Organizes Digital Exhibit
Professor of Japanese Ann Sherif organized the digital exhibit 鈥溾 in collaboration with Maxwell Mitchell 鈥20 and 91直播 College Libraries staff Megan Mitchell and Cecilia Robinson. The exhibit situates the art of Hiroshima native Shikoku Gor艒 in the context of antiwar, antinuclear, and social justice movements from 1945 to 2020. Structured around three books (Atom Bomb Poems, The Angry Jizo, and Hiroshima Sketches), the site guides visitors through the diverse art that Shikoku, in collaboration with grassroots networks of artists and writers, created to promote social justice. It includes guerilla art protesting the Korean War, poems against the nuclear arms race, a children鈥檚 book about war, cityscapes critiquing Hiroshima鈥檚 wartime past, and recent performing arts that trace this activist history. 鈥淧opular Protest鈥 was supported by a Mellon Foundation Digital Humanities grant. It is suitable for general audiences and for courses in history, Asian studies, art, politics, and peace studies.
