Centeno, Marcos and Liverani, Laura (2013) Ainu 2009-2013. [Shows/Exhibitions] (Unpublished)
Abstract
The Ainu, the native people of Japan, were officially recognized as an ethnicity in 2008, after more than a century of discrimination and oppression which almost completely effaced their language, society and culture. Today several individuals and groups across Japan are involved in Ainu rights, cultural revitalization and diffusion. This photographic series explores contemporary Ainu identity and culture, focusing on representation and self-representation of the Ainu, both within institutions such as museums and outside, in everyday's life practices. The work, still in progress, started in 2009 and aims at raising questions about a culture in the process of changing and redefining itself. Laura Liverani
