Current Work
"Spamela Anderson Leilani Mai Tai Lee" your aloha industry tour guide through the Hawaiian islands of paradise is an ironic and entertaining performance art piece about the illegal acquistion of our 50th state.
1-900-asianprincess is a short film that received a "revisionist award" at the San Francisco sex worker film festival. It is a pseudo infomercial fantasy of an outcall stripper, and it kicks butt, literally. |
Short Bio
Gennifer M. Hirano, asianprincess has been showing her visual and performance art work in galleries and art spaces for 7+ years. She has shown and performed in Sydney, Australia, Minneapolis, and is heading to perform in Saskatchewan, Canada in May.
Her visual art consists of digital photo images of her character asianprincess in various themes and settings. She then creates "artifacts" out of these images which may look like a large wall mural framed in wood and barbed wire or a mock car calendar complete with personal autograph.
Her spoken word songs are usually done "out of character" sans wig and fake eyelashes and speak more directly about the politics of violence against women, war and peace, and sex workers rights. She graduated from UC Berkeley and currently works as an artist, activist and K-12 educator for schools all over the San Francisco Bay Area.
