Intergenerational Studio, Tate Modern, April 2018
Lost in translation, lost in capitalism, lost in something suggesting “home”. Unhomeliness explores the notion of (lost) identity and belonging from the perspective of a Chinese queer migrant recently arrived in London - trying to find a version of home in Chinatown. The work asks its audience “who is generating a sense of belonging for whom”, in a place where cultural symbols such as red lanterns are purposefully collided with the rainbow flag as things to be consumed.
