“During our time at CultureHub, we invite people to creatively re-engage with their memories through virtual worldbuilding as a creative methodology for reclaiming colonial archives and addressing the erasure of minoritized and colonized communities on settler colonial land. We will hold community workshops for collaborative storytelling, memory keeping and to use virtual reconstruction methods to reimagine archives through images, collected sounds and observations in past and present Asian diasporic enclaves.”
