It was announced today that Japanese-Sāmoan artist Yuki Kihara’s Aotearoa New Zealand presentation at the 59th La Biennale di Venezia (Venice Biennale), Paradise Camp, will be shown in an expanded form at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum from 24 March 2023.
Kihara is the first Pasifika, Asian and Fa’afafine (Sāmoa’s ‘third gender’, in the manner of a woman) to represent Aotearoa at the Venice Biennale and, through her work, interrogates misrepresentation and colonial legacies in the Pacific.
