Art, adoption and identity

With kimura byol—nathalie lemoine

On February 29, 2020, from 10 am to noon

— Facebook

Adoption, identity and activism are at the heart of kimura byol—nathalie lemoine’s practice. The exhibition presented at Dazibao brings together works spanning various periods of zer* life and that were created on different continents. Several items selected from the artist’s archives tell us about a personal history, an array of official documents regarding adoption and zer artistic explorations.

As a gesture of respect for individual and collective experiences, the artist offers a space for sharing amongst adoptees.

The event is also open to adoptive parents and to the public but speaking priority will be given to the adoptees.

*Ze/zer is a gender neutral or gender ambiguous pronoun and the preferred pronoun of the artist.
