The artist behind the first known public sculpture of a nude trans body:
forcefully answers the question — “What and who should we valorise in our contemporary society?” — with her new public work unveiled at Art Basel on Monday. Taking the familiar form of a public bronze, Kuriki-Olivo naked, trans, indigenous body stands on a plinth with a single word inscribed on each side: ‘WOMAN’. The work is uncompromisingly clear: trans women are just that,Kuriki-Olivo’s work started much more opaquely.
“I am a compilation of every experience I’ve ever had. This inherently affects the work — as life flows so does the river of creativity and expression from my brain. I transitioned and my work transitioned as well. But expressing my truest self as a trans woman is scary – you never know what might happen in this anti-trans world,” she says. “However, I realised that hiding in complete anonymity meant something different as a trans woman of colour.
'A sculpture for Trans Women A sculpture for the Non-Binary Femmes A sculpture for Two-Spirit People • I am a woman. I don’t care what you think • I am a Trans Women. I am a Two-Spirit Person. I am a Woman. This is for my sisters and siblings everywhere. History erased many of us but we are still here. I will fight for our rights until the day I die. Exile me and I’ll keep fighting', Jade Guarano Kuriki-Olivo.
It’s title, in full, is a list forcefully declaring trans resilience — an unashamedly direct and political title demonstrating her earnest obligation to trans activism:
