Island's Apart
--
Moving to a new place brings to the surface personal questions connections to your place of birth and your place of being. From the Island of Cuba – home – to the British Isles – a home away from home – Amanda has had to navigate the internal and social representations of "Cuban-ness" created beyond its borders. A recipient of the Chevening scholarship to study at Goldsmiths, UK, her research explores the migration stories of Cubans in Europe and their sense of belonging and self-identification through sensory memories, materials,culture body language, nostalgia and situated experiences. "ISLANDS APART" is an ongoing exploration of a dear friend who's on a journey to collating a range of narratives from the Cuban diaspora in Europe, whilst simultaneously exploring her Cuban identity whilst living in the UK.
