By Jazmine Deng
Hoa Huy is an exhibition born from the contemplation of generational divides between parents and children of the Asian diaspora and their untold family histories.
Grounded by Cambodian history and the effects of the communist regime that led her maternal side to seek refuge in Australia, Jazmine’s processes consider the remnants of ‘ghostliness’ and intergenerational transmissions that occur from those who survived genocide or were children of those who did.
Photos, sounds and cultural artefacts tell the story of a re-constructed biography that splices, remembers, forgets and retells, correctly and incorrectly over and over again.
Nexus Arts Gallery is open Tuesday-Friday 10am-4pm.
