Bio
Alison Kizu-Blair is an artist working in performance, video, and sculpture. Her work deconstructs ideas of gendered identity and racial stereotypes using spoken word, recorded sound, gesture, costuming, and makeup. Recent work focuses on her mixed race, half-Japanese ancestry and her family’s internment in the U.S. during World War II, specifically interrogating how this trauma caused a ripple effect that is experienced seventy-five years later, through the lens of the current horrors of the American political climate.
