Here, There, or Somewhere Else

We all carry our own histories, cultures, languages, and desires – but also those of others. How do we situate ourselves when we belong neither here nor there? From Vietnam to Germany, Tokyo to London, migration is a journey of both preservation and loss, complicated by queerness. Across nebulous landscapes of gender identity and family ties, this programme explores the tensions of navigating multiple cultural terrains, and the cracks in between.
