1. An Art Exhibition by Shigeaki Iwai and Guest Artists
   What perspectives on migration, immigration, and multicultural society in contemporary Japan do artists have when creating their works? Shigeaki Iwai as IMM Tokyo director invites 3 guest artists— Akira Takayama, Ai Iwane and JongOk Ri—to illuminate their approaches to contemporary art.
   Participating Artists: Akira Takayama, Ai Iwane, Ri Jong Ok, Shigeaki Iwai
2. An Open Call Exhibition by Artists with Roots Overseas
   This “Open Call Exhibition” features artwork by people with roots overseas. We received over 100 entries to our open call for artwork expressing the feelings and interests in the daily lives of those with roots overseas living throughout Japan, from both professional artists and enthusiasts. About 30 artworks—from elaborate handicraft to everyday photos, and artistic expressions combining cultures—will be exhibited at the venue, providing a glimpse into the imaginations of each creator.
3. An Exhibition Introducing the Activities of Organizations working with Multicultural Society
   Japan has many different organizations exploring multicultural society, a number of which actively integrate arts and culture. Here, we introduce these organizations as they continue their activities towards realizing each of their envisioned landscapes in contemporary society.

4. Citizen Researchers “IMM Neighbors”
   Immigration Museum Tokyo is realized together with its citizen members, “IMM Neighbors”. IMM Neighbors includes members from multiple generations and diverse backgrounds, such as students, working people, international students who are active as artists, and others interested in multicultural society and international relations. These members consider the topic of multicultural society while carrying out regular meetings, lectures, and fieldwork. Stemming from their monthly meetings, the members will report on their day-to-day activities and develop a project intersecting with this exhibition.
