Akiko Ichikawa writes: “I was included in this year’s ‘Art in Odd Places,’ a weekend of performances in Manhattan. I performed Konnichiwa Shiba Inu, a work that employed Japanese animism to address Asian/immigrant alienation. I identified New Yorkers walking the breed and engaged with their pets in Japanese. I also read and tore pages from Ivanka Trump’s books and handed them to dog owners and walkers to use to collect their pets’ excrement in a ritual cleansing of the U.S. streets from an ex-president’s legacy and the possibility of his issue ever garnering the job. I was quoted in AMNY.com about the work. I also received a Cultural Solidarity Fund grant in June, administered by the Indie Theater Fund in New York City.”
