Bringing the two projects into conversation\, the presentation will explore their curatorial approaches while working with contemporary artworks and archival materials. \nItadakimasu (いただきます)\nBeyond food\, fun\, and festivals at the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre\nSherri Shinobu Kajiwara (Director|Curator)\nNikkei National Museum \nItadakimasu is said before eating in Japan. While it literally means “I humbly receive\,” it’s really about gratitude—toward the food itself and toward all the people who played a role in bringing the meal to the table\, from farmers to cooks. \nKajiwara speaks to the value of food as a bridge to Nikkei history and Japanese culture. The upcoming exhibition at the NNM from March – Sept 2026 is curated by the Powell Street Festival former director Emiko Morita on 50 years of the festival at which Japanese street and Nikkei heritage foods feature prominently\, but let’s dive into food heritage at the NNM beyond food\, fun\, and festivals. \nCreating Space in the Kitchen\nJane Lemke\, delecTABLE: Burnaby Food Journeys (Curator)\nBurnaby Village Museum \nJane Lemke (BVM Curator) presents on the feature exhibit delecTABLE: Burnaby Food Journeys\, on now at Burnaby Village Museum and how the exhibit uses food to promote cross-cultural understanding. \nAbout Lower Mainland Curators Group \nThe Lower Mainland Curators Group (LMCG) is for anyone with an interest in curatorial work\, ideas\, or themes in British Columbia. \nThe group is coordinated by a team of volunteer organizing members from museums around Metro Vancouver to discuss topics or themes related to curatorial work.
