Please consider making a donation with your ticket if you can.Kihara's new work Darwin Drag engages with research into how famed evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin shaped his findings to suggest that sexual diversity in animals was rare and unnatural, to conform with the conservative values of the Victorian period.Placed within Paradise Camp, Kihara responds to famous paintings of Tahiti and its people by French modernist artist Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). Through archival research, Kihara links Gauguin’s paintings to colonial photographs taken in Sāmoa.Collaborating with Fa’afafine models and production crew, Kihara repurposes these cultural artefacts to speak to, and from, queer Indigenous worlds.About the venueThe Whitworth is a venue with level access throughout, and facilities to support you during your visit.
