Translations:Clouds to Commons: Closing Program/9/en

How is Asian diasporic life seen, or not seen, in Dutch society? Kexin is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker based in Amsterdam. Working across moving image, installation, and essay film, she delves into the psychosocial and political forces shaping our sense of reality. She'll be joining us tonight to speak about Echoes from Afar, an open source online archive that rethinks how diasporic stories are told and navigated, with first person narratives and a real time translation system at the core of its design. This helps preserve the first person voice and resist the flattening that Asian communities in the Netherlands often experience in how they're represented. Echoes from Afar lays the groundwork for forms of visibility that move beyond familiar images. https://www.echoesfromafar.com/
