We’re excited to be part of Culture Days 2026, happening September 18 to October 4!
Visit the Art Gallery of Mississauga during Culture Days and experience Electric Neon Clock, an exhibition by A.S.M. Kobayashi that brings together family archives, historical records, performance and storytelling to explore the experiences of Japanese Canadians, including histories of displacement, incarceration and dispossession during the Second World War.
We’re also inviting visitors of all ages to take part in a hands-on activity inspired by the exhibition. Pick up a FREE Make Your Own Origami Boat Kit, inspired by the history of Japanese Canadian fishing communities and the themes explored in Electric Neon Clock.
Create and decorate your boat while visiting the gallery, or take your kit home to enjoy later. Each kit includes durable, water-resistant paper that can be decorated, folded and even floated.
