ESEA FUTURES: Building Sustainable Infrastructures for our Collective Futures

July 26, 2023

I delivered two workshops for the ESEA Online Community Hub that mapped ESEA arts and culture in Britain. We looked at the different kinds of art practices (i.e. music, performing, visual arts, etc) across geographies and time. We intend to develop new narratives to educate ourselves and wider society about ESEA presence and histories in the UK to support long-term structural and social and cultural change.

From the ESEA Futures blog:

“On July 26, Wednesday, we mapped out ESEA arts and culture in Britain with two workshop sessions throughout the day. We looked at the different kinds of art practices (i.e. music, performing, visual arts, etc) across geographies and time.

We intend to develop new narratives to educate ourselves and wider society about ESEA presence and histories in the UK to support long-term structural and social and cultural change.

In preparation for the workshop, there was a suggested reading of a chapter written by Dr Diana Yeh, which explores mainly British Chinese, but also broader ESEA cultural practices in the UK: The Cultural Politics of In/Visibility: Contesting ‘British Chineseness’ in the Arts.

All participants will be acknowledged as co-creators in the resources (unless they wish to remain anonymous).

This workshop is part of a wider project Responding to COVID-19 Anti-Asian Racial Violence through Community Creativity, Care, Solidarity and Resistance led by Dr Diana Yeh.”
