Shizuka Yokomizo
15th June 10am

Shizuka Yokomizo, Artist Talk

In a pre-recorded video, the artist will talk about her past works focusing on the experience of living in another culture – being displaced and encountering the unfamiliar. Starting off by introducing the photographic series “Stranger” (1998 – 2000), she will go from her earlier works made shortly after she arrived in the UK to recent works. She will explore how her sense of estrangement felt in everyday life formed her ideas and became a basis of her practice, developing different bodies of works over the years. Live Q&A after the talk.

15th June 10am-11.30pm
