Keiko Miyazaki - Let Them Drink Milk (7:23)
Production: Keiko Miyazaki, 2025
Let Them Drink Milk reflects on care as an invisible current that flows through domestic life. In this work, the river becomes a metaphor for the mother’s body—an endless stream of attention, nourishment, and quiet endurance. The video capture...
Keiko Miyazaki (born in Ehime, Japan) is an intermedia artist based in Celje, Slovenia. After she completed BA and MA of Fine Art at Northumbria University in England (2003), she moved to Slovenia. She pursued her study at Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia (2004), as well as Academy of Fine Art in Krakow, Poland (2005).
She was awarded Outstanding Award at the Sakaide Art Grand Prix (1999), Jury Award at the Cosmos Cable TV award (2005), as well as the culture contributor for the city of Shikokuchuou city. Since 1998 her work has been exhibited internationally.
Working across installation, video, and painting, she creates interconnected environments that merge personal memory with cultural critique. Her practice examines how intimacy, care, and survival are shaped by social and economic systems, often revealing the quiet tension between tenderness and control. Drawing from personal experience, she transforms moments of domestic and emotional labor into poetic critiques of capitalist structures and gendered hierarchies, exposing how invisible expectations define who is seen, supported, or left behind. Recent projects such as Broken Cinderella, Make Milk Great Again, and Quadragenerian explore these hidden systems with quiet irony and a distinctly feminist sensibility. She has exhibited in Slovenia and internationally, including solo shows at the Gallery of Contemporary Art Celje and Match Gallery Ljubljana.
