Chim↑Pom (formed 2005, Tokyo, Japan) is an artist collective comprised of members Ryuta Ushiro, Yasutaka Hayashi, Ellie, Masataka Okada, Motomu Inaoka, and Toshinori Mizuno. Their work includes interventions through performance, video, painting, installation, curating and organising events.  Perhaps best known for their performances and interventions made in the immediate response to the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster, the group has continuously engaged with social and political concerns in their native Japan and abroad. They examine aspects of everyday life in Tokyo, and have also worked in Hiroshima and Fukushima, satirically questioning what is usually left unquestioned. In 2015, they opened their artist-run space, Garter, in Tokyo to curate and showcase work by many of their contemporaries. They also initiated, organised and participated in the international exhibition Don’t Follow the Wind, which launched on March 11, 2015, inside the Fukushima nuclear exclusion zone.fdafdsa
