We’re delighted to invite you to Jesus College, in collaboration with The Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI), for an interactive talk and performance by artists Yusuke Kuriki and Fernando Kague, in which they explore the intersection of technology, gender, migration, and independent artistic practices in Tokyo. Tickets are available below. Drawing on The Sarau, an independent curatorial platform connecting emerging artists and multidisciplinary practitioners, Yusuke and Fernando will present a selection of artists and projects that engage with identity, belonging, cultural hybridity, gender, and diasporic experiences. This approach will then be discussed as a case study of artist-led cultural production, focusing on how independent platforms, alternative spaces, digital technologies, and collaborative networks can create new forms of artistic exchange and community-building beyond established institutional structures. About Yusuke Kuriki Yusuke Kuriki is a Japanese–Korean artist currently pursuing an MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, working across painting, sculpture, and installation. His practice often begins with encounters with everyday objects, architectural structures and fragments, and natural and technological phenomena. He displaces things from their usual contexts and places them in unfamiliar conditions. By altering their functions and relationships, he creates situations in which familiar things become difficult to recognise, allowing less visible and speculative behaviours to emerge. About Fernando Kague Fernando Henrique Kague is a brazilian interdisciplinary artist and producer based in Tokyo. His practice explores migration, ancestry, family histories, masculinity, and displacement through performance, installation, and audiovisual experimentation. He is the founder of The Sarau, an artist-led platform connecting creative communities across Tokyo and internationally, creating spaces for cultural exchange and independent artistic practices. As a Nikkei (japanese descendant) artist and the son and grandson of immigrants, his work is informed by experiences of navigating different cultural contexts and their intersections with beliefs and practices.
