Sara TSE & Shirley TSE

Grants

To engage with second- and third-generation members of the Hakka diaspora in Malaysia. Sara and Shirley Tse will learn Hakka histories through personal storytelling by residents in Perak Malaysia, where the Hakka Chinese community is concentrated, and retell these narratives in contemporary art forms. They plan to visit locations related to artifacts and stories passed down by their late mother, as starting points for their experience. This immersion will deepen their research with lived experience and expand diasporic histories.
