An exhibition at the Tohoku University Centennial Hall was held in cooperation with the Smithsonian Museum.

The exhibition displayed photos of residents struck by natural disaster evacuating from their homes. All photos were taken by photographers from Magnum Photo.

We had many visitors throughout the four days of the exhibition, including forum participants.

Outline

Unintended Journeys is a contemporary photo show focusing on environmental refugees, with particular emphasis on migration and displacements within the last decade due to natural disasters and global climate change. Most of the photos were taken by Magnum Photos and the exhibition will provide a personal human face to some of the most important mass human displacements in recent times.
