Silkworm
Performance

Aine Nakamura
Japan/USA, 1982

In this performance, Aine weaves together the stories of silkworms, delicate fabrics and her great-grandmother’s strength in the face of adversity. Drawing from her experiences growing up in two countries, Japan and the USA, she explores the notion of home as a transnational individual and the cultural challenges one encounters.
The artist creates a space where she can fly and voice her identity, challenging the perception of being seen as a delicate ‘oriental’ woman. Fabric and paper will accompany her body, protecting it as she transforms the space around her.

Does social perception define us?

The performances are part of the Larnaca Biennale 2023 Main Exhibition “Home Away from Home”.
