Wellington and Melbourne: Creative New Zealand and Thames & Hudson, 2022.“Interdisciplinary artist Yuki Kihara’s work interrogates and dismantles gender roles, (mis)representation, and colonial legacies in the Pacific. Kihara is the first Pasifika and first Fa’afafine artist to be presented by New Zealand at the prestigious 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, with a groundbreaking exhibition of new work that addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time. For this companion publication to the exhibition, editor Natalie King has commissioned contributors from around the world to explore the interwoven strands running through Kihara’s art: race, gender, place, decolonisation, environment, agency, community. The book contextualises Kihara’s lifetime of works, which camp, expose, queer and question dominant narratives, turning so-called history on its head. The book contains contributions from Tahiti to Aotearoa. High-profile contributors include New York-based Cuban artist, scholar and activist Coco Fusco, Tahitian author Chantal Spitz, Filipino curator and professor Patrick Flores, and Australian arts leader Natalie King OAM (who edited the book).” (publisher’s blurb)

Glamour Ghoul: The Passions and Pain of the Real Vampira
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartSandra Nieme
Port Townsend: Feral House, 2021.“Maila Nurmi, the beautiful and sheltered daughter of Finnish immigrants, stepped off the bus in 1941 Los Angeles intent on finding fame and fortune. She found men eager to take advantage of her innocence and beauty but was determined to find success and love. Her inspired design and portrayal of a vampire won a costume contest that lead to a small role on the Red Skelton show which grew into a persona that brought her the notoriety she desired yet trapped her in a character she could never truly escape. This is Malia’s story. Her diaries, notes, and ephemera and family stories bring new insights to her relationships with Orson Welles, James Dean, and Marlon Brando. Sandra Niemi–Malia’s niece–fills in the nuances of her life prior to fame and her struggles after the limelight faded and she found a new community within the burgeoning Los Angeles punk scene who embraced her as their own.” (publisher’s blurb)
