Deal Announcement: Enemy Alien on Tamio Wakayama

The first publication devoted to Tamio Wakayama’s remarkable photographic career, Enemy Alien shares unpublished photos and a memoir by the artist about his life working alongside activist movements and in vibrant communities, from the civil rights–era American South to the Powell Street Festival in Vancouver.

The centrepiece of the heavily illustrated publication is Wakyama’s unpublished memoir, Soul on Rice, which includes numerous photo spreads.

With contributions by Paul Wong, Eva Respini, and Mayumi Takasaki, the book is published in partnership with the Vancouver Art Gallery, and in association with an exhibition of the same name, curated by Paul Wong.

Coming October 2025.
