Workshopping as Research, 2023
Is there a bridge between the diasporic and assimilated identities? Through the lens of the British-Nepali diaspora.
A discursive exploration of the British-Nepali diaspora in context of our familial kinships. Using diagramatic and drawing workshop methods as a research tool, I facilitate dialogues surrounding our identity and culture.
Using play, materiality and reflection as a means to prevent intergeneration dissonance; strenghtening our connection to our heritage through collective interpersonal relationships.
Workshop held at my MA graduate show as a recontextualisation of my research gathered domestic homes to an institutional setting. Displaying the act of resistance to assimilation despite changes in location.
