Join artist Chisato Minamimura for a BSL response to Autograph’s exhibition Eileen Perrier: A Thousand Small Stories. Minamimura will introduce key themes in the exhibition and contextualise Perrier's practise in relation to studio portraiture and social engagement. She will use the artist's work to expand on ideas contemplating class, cultural identity and belonging through the photographic portrait from a Deaf perspective.
This event will take place in Autograph’s gallery alongside Perrier's work spanning three decades.
This event will be in British Sign Language only. The exhibition talk will last around 45 minutes, starting promptly at 6:30pm and will be followed by an informal opportunity to socialise over drinks.
Chisato Minamimura is a Deaf performance artist, choreographer and BSL art guide. Born in Japan, now based in London, Chisato has created, performed and taught internationally and is currently a Work Place artist at The Place.
Chisato has been involved in aerial performances with Graeae Theatre Company, London’s Paralympic Opening Ceremony 2012 and Rio’s 2016 Paralympic Cultural Olympiad. Chisato trained at Trinity Laban in London and holds a BA in Japanese Painting and MA from Yokohama National University.
Chisato approaches choreography and performance making from her unique perspective as a Deaf artist, experimenting with and exploring the visualisation of sound and music. By using dance and digital technology, Chisato aims to share her experiences of sensory perception and human encounters. Find out more on the artist’s website.
