Project Installation
Bringing the oral history interviews into an accessible format this mobile installation designed by our volunteers summarises the work that has been done over the pass year. The installation is made up of 20-30 pieces of foam boards, cut and set up in an innovative way.
The creativity of the installation is reflected in its resizable and mobile character allowing you to customise the piece depending on area, which makes the installation suitable for various spaces, such as libraries and community centres. Statements included are chosen from the interviews which include English and Chinese quotations, and they present a direct view of the collective identity of Chinese Community in Britain. The piece is a bold, visual statement linking the two cultures and guiding you throughout the project’s progression including pictures of our T-shirt workshops and interviews with members of the Chinese community. The most valuable quality of the installation is its alternative approach of combining 3 dimensional visual impact into the oral history making so bringing a reminiscent subject into life. |
‘How Far Do Leaves Fall?’ – Documentary synopsis
‘How Far Do Leaves Fall?’ is part of a wider oral history project by Chinese Mental Health Association (CMHA) in collaboration with Heritage Lottery Fund. It presents a fascinating personal history of Chinese immigration in London, together with exploring intergenerational differences in cultural experience for members of the community, young and old. It asks questions such as, ‘How did it feel leaving your home and arriving in a strange country where you didn’t speak the language?’
Immigrants from across China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and elsewhere left home for England, for reasons ranging from economic necessity and looking after family, to escaping events such as the Japanese Invasion and the Cultural Revolution. In oral history interviews, they discuss their experiences of life before coming to England, feelings before leaving their home and issues of culture, belonging and assimilation once here.
And what of the younger generation of British Born Chinese (BBCs)? How do their own values compare to their parents? Can you truly live comfortably, embracing all elements of your heritage, whilst living in a modern British society? The second and third generation of BBCs discuss life between these two rich and vibrant cultures and what their roots and heritage means to them.
