Artist Talk: Yuki Kihara and Karen Jacobs
More Information
Yuki Kihara is an interdisciplinary artist of Japanese and Sāmoan descent. Through a research-based approach, her work seeks to challenge dominant and singular historical narratives and its persistence in the socio-political climate through a wide range of mediums, including performance, sculpture, video, photography and curatorial practice.
Paradise Camp, an exhibition by Yuki Kihara, premiered to great acclaim in the New Zealand Pavilion presented at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022, and will be exhibited at the Sainsbury Centre in 2025, in its first UK showing.
This is a recording of our event in which Yuki Kihara was in conversation with Karen Jacobs, Associate Professor in the Sainsbury Research Unit. Their talk covered Paradise Camp and its ongoing development exploring the artist’s intersectional themes such as gender, museum collections, climate change and colonisation.
