On Thursday, October 24 at 18.30 sinokultur invites you to join us for a talk with Chinese photographer and artist Nina Chen.
Nina will show her newest project the video Here, nowhere (2024) and will talk with Yunlong Song about her experience as an immigrant and photographer/artist in Switzerland.
About the video: At the end of 2017, Nina immigrated from Shanghai to canton Aargau, Switzerland. As part of the immigrant community, she is also an experiencer of immigrant life and an observer of this process. Since the spring of 2022, she has invited five immigrant women around her to read poems in their mother tongue to show the hardships and joys of their new life. She uses real and delicate film language to show the audience the private states of mind of these women from different cultural backgrounds, hoping that these ordinary individuals can gain the audience's understanding and respect.
This immigration journey, whether bitter or joyful, is an experience worth remembering. Where will these immigrant women go and will they be able to put down roots in this country? Will this be their last stop?
About the artist: Nina was born in 1980 in Hubei, China. After she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts of Hubei Normal University in 2003, she worked
