Public Seminar Series: Narrating my story as a member of multicultural society
Narrating one’s own experience is a significant act of empowerment for a person with multicultural backgrounds. However such narrative is often listened to as a story of ‘ethnic minorities’, not as that of fellow citizens co-dwelling in society. Featuring three acclaimed creative writers, this seminar discusses the ways in which migrant or diasporic stories are addressed as a member of society and received without being reduced to ‘their’ stories.
