NOTICE: THIS EVENT IS NOT FREE, YOU CAN PAY AT THE DOOR, READ BELOW FOR DETAILS. We do registration here to make sure we don't waste food. Rebinding Home: Family in the Diaspora presents different facades of being a diaspora by presenting the series of works Miao Collective encounter, at Kassel, Germany, and at Toronto, Canada. We want to stir up the thinking about identity fluidity, consequences of choices, reconciliation between body and culture, family footages and family memories, boundaries of the self, and more. We will screen two films, Welcome Back, Farewell (2021) by Marcos Yoshi and Papaya (2022) by Dédé Chen. The film screening will be followed by a Q&amp;A with the two directors and a vegan dinner provided by the organizer. The recipes of the dinner come from the home recipes of the two directors Marcos and Dédé, representing the taste that reminds them of home. B﻿oth films are in English subtitles. <h3>Important information about the location and time: </h3>Film Screening is at V﻿entilator Cinema (previously Supernova Cinema) at OT301 from 2 pm to 4 pm.
