To research and collect stories of mixed-culture families and communities in Okinawa and explore how the human condition is tested in subtle, intimate spaces between families. Qiu will explore how the lives of Okinawa’s residents, especially those of Chinese descent, are challenged under the shadow of the region’s complex history and geopolitics. He will also investigate how memory, culture, and tradition transform across generations Qiu will follow stories across Okinawa, including neighborhoods near U.S. military bases, areas where centuries of exchange with Fujianese communities remain visible, and sites that speak to earlier Chinese presence and regional movement.
