DESCRIPTION:The Montalvo Arts Center is pleased to announce the debut of it
 s newest commission: <em>Rolling Counterpoint</em>\, a project by artist T
 aro Hattori. The work\, which draws on the tradition of the Japanese teaho
 use\, is envisioned as a physical and virtual space for encounter and dial
 ogue about belonging and division in contemporary society. In 16th century
  Japan\, against the backdrop of civil war\, tea masters became political 
 go-betweens while teahouses served as radically egalitarian spaces of non-
 violence and provided opportunities for rational discourse\, conviviality\
 , political consensus and peace. Using this history as a point of departur
 e\, Hattori reimagines the teahouse as a meeting space and dialogical zone
  where diverse people from all walks of life can come together to share st
 ories and experiences about what belonging means to them.\n\nIn associatio
 n with the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066 on February 19\, 2017\
 , which authorized the mass forced removal and incarceration of Japanese A
 mericans during World War II\, <em>Rolling Counterpoint</em> will be tempo
 rarily stationed at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose from February
  16 through 19. Visitors are invited to share tea with artist Taro Hattori
  during Museum hours and explore why it is important to remember Executive
  Order 9066. Members of the public will also be encouraged to use the anni
 versary of 9066 as a point of departure to share their thoughts about what
  belonging means to them and discuss forms of exclusion\, displacement\, a
 nd discrimination that they have either experienced or witnessed in their 
 communities.
