Personal History

Mathew Paul

The objective of the project Personal History was to explore cultural identity by interviewing family. This project explores the nuances of identity, diaspora, the evolution of traditions, and how that culminates in a single personal experience. The key components of this project were: interviews with two grandmothers, self reflection resulting in visual output, and a written piece on the history of several personal identities. This project hopes to inspire others to explore their own past, and reflect on how their family finds meaning, in traditions, values, and identity.
