Side Street Projects presents OTTO=sound:BANASHI=story is a six-part tone poem and a 30-minute film about the complex character of a post-WWII Japanese American community in Pasadena, California by Alan Nakagawa. The project is an artist response to two years of immersion into the programming and operations of a cultural and religious institution, the Pasadena Buddhist Temple. It is a collective-voice, based on hours of oral history collection; candid interviews of over a dozen members whose families persevered through racism, exclusion, and imprisonment. With the support and participation of community members, Nakagawa has created a mood-driven response to stories, insights, and observations that reflect generational trauma and perseverance. The half-hour-long contains historic images, a re-creation of one of the Japanese school classrooms, a sound performance with the "orphan" Butusdan's, and more. Each part is a response to the multi-chronology, loss of language, and deep complexity of the Institution and its members.
