About

Kirico Ueda is a multidisciplinary artist who is fascinated by the magical and primitive power of folktales, myths and theatre. Optimising photographing, sculpture and printmaking, Kirico brings these tales to the contemporary art scene. Her use of shadow puppetry is the most ancient of these mediums, spanning across centuries and different corners of the world – China, India, Egypt, Turkey, Syria and France, to name just a few.

Kirico invites the old tradition of shadow puppetry into the Sarabande main space. With the lights low and the shadows high, join a workshop guiding you in the creation of your very own shadow puppet. In this special evening for London Craft Week, the shadows are out to play. Let the theatrics begin!
