Cường Minh Bá Phạm and Carô Gervay created this book in response to the exhibition No Place Like Home.
No Place Like Home: a metastory by Carô Gervay and Cường Minh Bá Phạm, 2016 – ongoing. Handbound book, annexe printed on recycled paper, glassine envelope. W18 x L18 cm.
How did we get here? From our respective viewpoints and experiences, we reflect on the last few decades of Vietnamese and ESEA community work in London, UK housing policies, arts institutions’ transformation, friendships and discomfort. These stories are embedded within the No Place Like Home exhibition. A heads-up: it involves time travelling, participation and staying with the messiness of it all. There is no chronological order nor conclusion.
We are keen to share it with people who could not join us for the exhibition in London, or who want to take the time to read it from home or elsewhere. We are making this book available online for all to download it, read it, and share it:
We recommend ‘double page view’ for the book experience.
