Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian - Centro de Arte Moderna
Chikako Yamashiro (b. 1976) presents Song of the Land composed by two distinct works, that explores the intermeshing of body memories and memories with social and political issues specific to the history and the mythologies of Okinawa islands, in Japan.
Mud Man (2016), is a video installation set on Okinawa (Japan) and South Korea’s Jeju Islands, two locations at the center of local controversies surrounding the presence of the United States military. In Seaweed Woman (2008), Yamashiro mythologises herself as a creature of the sea to personify the political body of Okinawa.
Wednesday to Monday, 10 am – 6 pm, Saturday, 10 am to 9 pm
