Paradise Camp

Yuki Kihara

Interdisciplinary artist Yuki Kihara is the first Pasifika and first Fáfafine artist to be presented by New Zealand at the prestigious 59th International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale. With a groundbreaking exhibition of new work that addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time, Kihara's work interrogates and dismantles gender roles, consumerism, (mis)representation, and colonial legacies in the Pacific. Edited by Natalie King, who has commissioned provocative essays by contributors from around the world, this publication contextualizes Kihara's works from her entire career, which puncture and expose, queer and question dominant narratives, turning history on its head.
