ABOUT THE WORK

Textile and audio works assembled from the results of Field Research — a workshop series inviting South Asian youth to unearth, investigate and share their families’ migration stories. Over the course of four gatherings, participants used reading, discussion, audio archiving and natural dyeing to navigate the questions: How did you arrive here? How can we work together to document our collective histories? How will this inform where we want to go next?

Participating Artists: Alisha Ahmed, Safa Patel, Abina Sathiyaseelan, Rania Qureshi, Kanniga Varatharajah

Installation assistance by Noor Khan and Chanel Vinet.

Created with support from whippersnapper Gallery as part of PEERS Public Projects - an artist residency program that supports the development of community-engaged public artworks.
