KAORUKO
Animism
Exhibition Dates: February 27 – March 21, 2020
Artist’s Reception: Thursday, February 27th, 6-8pm
“Animism” explores the complex cultural and ideological divide between traditional and contemporary ideals that are inherently placed upon Japanese women by using carefully crafted narratives to navigates and call attention to the cultural contemporary standards. By drawing upon her first-hand experience with pop culture now seen through a mature gaze, Kaoruko sets her sights upon the cultural expectation of the ‘feminine’ in a society that is deeply steeped in history and one that is forging new frontiers.
