We created “20 years later” - a digital shadow puppet short work, tracing our journeys and rites of passage as migrants in Australia. The story begins with the character Matsu, known as Jack, arriving by train at Spencer Street Station, heart pounding, uncertain, yet hopeful.

Each scene was developed through a reflective process undertaken during the early stages of our creation: the lively streets of Brunswick, the sting of alienation, the ongoing search for identity, the citizenship ceremony, a deepening appreciation of First Peoples culture and history, and the everyday realities of a multicultural society - leading to the final scene, where we are creating this work in the studio, 20 years later.

Through this work, we wish to acknowledge all the migrants who paved the way before us and contributed to shaping, so called Australia, into what it is today.
