Shigeyuki Kihara "Living Photographs"
Closes in 23 days
At The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Media: Photography
This exhibition presents photographs by Shigeyuki Kihara, a Samoan-born multimedia and performance artist who uses photography to explore themes of Pacific culture, identity, colonialism, indigenous spirituality, stereotypes, gender roles, and consumerism. The inspiration for her work comes from a variety of sources, including nineteenth- and early twentieth-century photographs that contributed to ideas—some imagined—about life in the Pacific Islands. During the exhibition, Kihara will also perform Taualuga: The Last Dance. The performance combines photography, traditional dance, audio, and historical costume to form a tribute to the many leaders and people of Samoa.
