What is lost, reshaped, or left unsaid along the way?About this EventIn , artist Nhu Xuan Hua reflects on the fragility of memory and the ways stories are communicated – or withheld – across generations. Hua grew up feeling a palpable distance from her Vietnamese heritage and notes the this body of work visualises the dissipation of family memory through migration and cultural rupture.Hua considers the feelings that words can evoke, prompting a familiar and comforting connection to memories that we may not consciously recall. Join us at the gallery for a live poetry event set against the backdrop of Hua’s evocative exhibition. At this event, poets will perform 15 minute readings followed by a short Q&A with the audience. There will be a drinks reception and a chance to look at the exhibition after. Performers include Poet Laureate of Wales, Hanan Issa, who's work explores themes of home, identity, and language.Read more on Autograph's websitePerformersHanan Issa is a Welsh-Iraqi writer, filmmaker, and artist.
