Between Pictures: The Lens of Tamio Wakayama T-shirt

A T-shirt for the film Between Pictures: The Lens of Tamio Wakayama tells the epic journey of the late Japanese Canadian photographer Tamio Wakayama who decides to join the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the deep south during the 1960’s American civil rights movement. Learning the art of dark room photography along the way, this transformative moment in time allows him to confront his own identity and return ‘home’ to the west coast of Canada to begin a body of photographic work that continues to celebrate, re-present and document the spirit of Japanese Canadians who resided in the former Paueru Gai/Powell Street neighborhoods

Between Pictures: The Lens of Tamio Wakayama was part of Doxa Documentary Film Festival 2024.

Available in sizes: S, M, L and XL.
