Tokyo Streets X
Tokyo Streets returns with its fifth multidisciplinary showcase, Tokyo Streets X, taking over WPU Gallery Shinjuku from June 23 to 28. Expanding beyond its street photography roots, the roughly week-long photography exhibition blends portrait and street photography with other forms of visual art and DJ spins, putting the spotlight on both local and international creatives.
Expect to see prints by talented photographers Lord K2, Lukasz Palka and Yusuke Nagata, as well as illustrations by artists Chonmaru, Diego Branco, Masashi Nanri and Anna's Brain, among others. Free to enter, the show is an easy stop for anyone keen to tap into Tokyo’s contemporary street photography and art scene.
Time your visit for the reception on Saturday June 27 (from 6pm; ¥500 entry), when the exhibit’s resident DJs spin hip-hop and funk and special guests come together for a lively closing-weekend celebration. For those keen to explore Shinjuku's Kabukicho with a camera, join the photowalk happening on Wednesday June 24 from 8pm. (¥3,000 per person)
