Honolulu Opens Nisei Soldier Exhibition on November 7, Running Through March 2027
HONOLULU, Hawaii — Capitol Modern, the Hawai'i State Art Museum in downtown Honolulu, will open the traveling exhibition "I Am an American: The Nisei Soldier Experience" on November 7, where it will run through March 13, 2027.
The exhibition traces the history and personal experiences of Nisei — second-generation Japanese Americans — who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, choosing to enlist even as their families faced martial law and mass incarceration in the continental United States. It is installed in the No. 1 Capitol District Building, a historic structure that once housed the Armed Services YMCA, at the center of the state capitol district.
Capitol Modern is the main public exhibition venue of the Hawai'i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. Organizers say the exhibition uses personal narratives to present the wartime experiences of Nisei soldiers and offers a new perspective on Hawaii's multiethnic history.
