Hear Her Singing, 2017
Commissioned by Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London, UK
In collaboration with Charwei Tsai

Taking the universal nature of songs to create a platform for refugees and asylum seekers currently living or detained in the UK, a series of film installations at Southbank Centre present multiple voices of struggle, resistance, and hope.

Songs of Chuchepati Camp, 2017
In collaboration with Charwei Tsai

We visited Chuchepati Camp for the earthquake victims in Kathmandu. After spending some time at the camp we decided to record songs sung by the victims from all walks of life, expressing their current state of mind. Some sang traditional Nepali folk songs while others improvised their life stories. The project looks to connect people with one another on a basic human level, and transcend social, economic, cultural and religious difference. Emphasizing common values and the simplest of human desires – to be free from suffering – the project eschews political rhetoric to share and give visibility to the personal experiences of those seeking refuge.

Exhibited at The New School Gallery, NY & Galerie Mor Charpentier, Paris, France
