During 2020\, a confluence of critical personal events motivated me to re-evaluate how I saw myself as an individual\, the identifications that others projected upon me\, and my relationship with others in Australian society. Guided by the photo therapy framework of Jo Spence and Rosy Martin\, in conjunction with a material engagement informed by Karen Barad’s agential realism\, I approached this self-reflection by engaging with a diverse range of photograph-centred practices throughout 2021 and 2022. Parental and institutional erasures of diasporic heritage\, and its replacement with the values of Australian middle-class suburbia and professional status\, were critically examined through this multimodal approach. \nI began work on this project with preconceived ideas about recovering some form of lost Hong Kong-Chinese heritage – or perhaps reconnecting with a forgotten community that I was separated from during our family’s diasporic trajectory. What emerged through this work eventually revealed my own identity(ies) and cultural position(s) to be more complex\, nuanced\, and unexpected. \nKelvin Lau // Artist Statement[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1518320329651-b769a1a3-29e6905c-b0b3368e-b9ef2edb-f0663f53-0933″][vc_column_text]\nKelvin Lau / Lau Wing Kei CV\nLast updated: May 2023 \nEducation\n2023 MA (Photography)\, Photography Studies College\n2017 PhD\, University of Melbourne\n2013 MPH\, University of Melbourne\n2006 FRACGP\, Royal Australian College of General Practitioners\n1997 BSc(Med) MB BS\, University of New South Wales \nSolo exhibitions\n2023 Painted Ghosts\, Sol Gallery\, Melbourne \nGroup exhibitions\n2023 Through Time and Space\, Museum of Chinese Australian History\, Melbourne\n2021 STAGES Life in Lockdown\, Monash Gallery of Art\, Melbourne\n2020 Bowness Photography Prize\, Monash Gallery of Art\, Melbourne\n2014-2020 Salon\, Centre for Contemporary Photography\, Melbourne\n1991 ArtExpress (1990)\, Art Gallery of New South Wales \nAwards\, grants\, residencies\n2023 Creative Residency\, Centre for Contemporary Photography\, Melbourne\n2021 Finalist\, Australian Photography Awards\n2020 Finalist\, Bowness Photography Prize\, Monash Gallery of Art\, Melbourne \nCollaborations\n2022 Consultant\, Unknowing Madness project by Thembi Soddell for The Big Anxiety Festival\, Melbourne\n2016 Co-facilitator\, Exploring Emotion Through Photography\, youth program with headspace Collingwood\, Centre for Contemporary Photography\, and ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions \nPublications\n2017 Understanding mental distress in young people from a migrant background in Australia through photo-interviewing\, open access thesis\, University of Melbourne \nDeclared fields of interest\nReflexive photographic practice\nAutoethnography\nQualitative research methods\nVisual social research\nArts/health\nHealth/illness lived experience\nPrimary healthcare[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
