Japanese and Samoan creative Yuki Kihara, who identifies as a Fa’afafine—a traditional third gender in Samoa—will present an artist talk for this edition of Saturday University. Kihara's critique of Western colonial violence, Paradise Camp, made waves at this year's Venice Biennale; the artist explores notions of "paradise" through resilience, humor, and centering of her Samoan Fa’afafine community, exploring the island's shrouded histories by “upcycling” Paul Gauguin works.
