This AHRC funded doctorate explores experiences of complex, transcultural lived and inherited memory within diaspora communities, questioning how these experiences might influence and shape new models of working and connecting with and within the arts institution. The aims of this research are to enable individuals, groups and family audiences from the diaspora (East African and beyond) to directly inform and shape change within the institutions’ organisational and administrative systems. Using a practice-based and participatory approach, the research will test new ways of relating to and working with and within Tate’s Learning Department for both staff and audiences.
