About the Event
Allan will discuss the development of his photographic practice and OCA journey and share work in progress from his major project for the final unit of his stage three studies.
‘My photo-collage work explores the representation of Eurasian identities and responds to my own mixed heritage; working with family photographs, Orientalist framings of Chinese Art, colonial era photographs, portraits of ‘celebrated Eurasians’ and fashion, advertising, and media imagery that fetishises and commodifies Asian and mixed-race identities, I cut and reassemble visual material to create images with that foreground the contested and complex nature of mixed-race identities. My practice analyses how the cultural meanings of Eurasian identity are constructed and investigates the conditions of their legitimacy, whilst seeking to understand how we come to terms with difference.’
Everyone Welcome!
