Enemy Alien is the first major solo exhibition and retrospective of works by documentary photographer Tamio Wakayama.
His career, spanning over fifty years, began with his photographs of the Civil Rights Movement in the southern United States. Wakayama documented many of the social justice movements and countercultures of the 1960s and 70s. His work tells stories of community, joy and resistance in the face of injustice. The exhibition also highlights Wakayama’s documentation of Indigenous communities in Saskatchewan and the Doukhobors of eastern BC.
