Exploring themes of culture, preconceptions, and belonging, Tsunagu/Connect: The Exhibition reveals the joys and struggles, triumphs and hardships of creating a new life in a foreign land.
Featuring interactive audio, an intergenerational film and illustrations by Natsko Seki, this exhibition provides an intimate glimpse into the worlds of these women and poses a vital question: “What price must we pay to create a third space, neither one nation nor the other, where we finally have room to be ourselves?”
