VANCOUVER, BC .- Opening at the Vancouver Art Gallery on October 3, 2025, Enemy Alien: Tamio Wakayama is the first major solo exhibition dedicated to the late documentary photographer Tamio Wakayama (1941–2018). He became an integral part of the era’s dynamic cultural revitalization of the Japanese Canadian community, dedicating years to documenting cultural life. The exhibition also features Cindy Mochizuki’s documentary film Between Pictures: The Lens of Tamio Wakayama (2024, 70 mins). This timing underscores the continued relevance of Wakayama’s photographs in preserving memory and amplifying stories of resilience. Enemy Alien: Tamio Wakayama is organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery as an initiative of the Centre for Global Asias and guest curated by Paul Wong.
