Yuki Kihara's reaction to being chosen to represent Aotearoa/New Zealand in the 2021 Venice Biennale was to scream at the top of her lungs. But with it came a huge sense of responsibility: "If I f**k this up, then people like me won't get a chance anymore." An interdiscplinary artist of Japanese and Sāmoan descent, Kihara has hit a lot of firsts in her international career — a show at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the first Pacifika and Asian artist to represent Aotearoa at the Biennale. Always, her cinematic photography, dance, installation and curatorship seeks to challenge the dominant historical narratives and explore intersecting identities and experiences.
Plus, step inside the world of Terminus, a series of virtual reality installations inspired by sci fi and fantasy comics and movies.
And the 'deceptively simple' art of Miffy, the bunny grounded in ideas of 20th century avant-garde design.
