Dis/connection
The Basement Gallery
2015
Dis/Connection explores the notion of a homeland and identity. Exploring the spiritual connection with a second homeland that accompanies transnationalism, this work dissects ones sense of self to it's descendants, culture and birth whilst using the body as an expressive medium.
A connection to a homeland is not necessarily formed through first hand experience, a parent passes on ties with each generation allowing a bond to that homeland whilst creating disconnection and reconnection with their current homeland. Two identities are formed with a sense of being loyal and identifying to both. This exhibition aims to create conversations about multi-culturalism and heritage in Australia’s current society.
