• This panel will explore the terrain of representation and misrepresentation by using Paradise Camp as a prompt. The session will uncover the complexities of representation across social, historical, political, activist and cultural realms. Yuki Kihara’s Paradise Camp deploys representation as an act of reclamation, defiance and celebration allowing the speakers to consider how representation can be inverted and challenged from the perspective of the Global South.
