The Birth of Naikee

Naikee is a black trans woman. At 38, she looks back on her transitional journey, abandoning her birth name and gradually changing her appearance. To gain her « right to exist » differently, she creates a tableau that reinvents and reinterprets the codes of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. As she confronts her connection to her body and her right to exist differently, she is reborn in front of our eyes.
