esea contemporary, the UK’s only non-profit art center specializing in presenting and platforming artists and art practices that identify with and are informed by East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) cultural backgrounds, has a mission to increase the visibility of contemporary art practices from the Chinese communities and their diasporas. The Foundation supports a series of podcasts and a panel discussion with artists responding to an object, image, text or recording that references early histories of Chinese immigration to the UK, drawn from their exploration of UK archives, collections and other public records.
