Nana's House Installation, London College of Fashion - Community Co-Curator

Nana's House is an interactive living room installation, as part of Designed for Life which coincided with the opening of the new campus in Stratford, East London, UK.

The living room reflects and represents a broad heterogeneity of lives and experiences in East London told through a fictional family gathered on a Sunday afternoon at Nana's house, using artefacts and QR-linked soundscapes to represent each family member.

"Nana's one of a kind, and so is her house. It's Sunday afternoon, and her Leytonstone Victorian terrace is at capacity. Mum, dad, uncle and Grandad congregate around the jollof, but I'm more interested in the sweet, spiced tea and homemade samosas that have made a regular appearance here since we took in a lodger - an Indian-Muslim exchange student from Hyderabad.

My grandparents have lived here long before I was born. The walls tell the tale of an exuberant young textile worker arriving in London in 1960, fresh from Ondo State, Nigeria, with an infatuation with the latest in fashion and design. Over the years my mum has tried to add some modern toches; working in finance, she began to share her wealth in the late 80s with a new TV and sofa - much to the apathy of Grandad, who only believes in fixing what is broken.

Grandad was a print worker, a determined trade unionist whose career ended at age 48 with a labour dispute on Wapping High Street in 1987. A "real East Londoner born within earshot of the Bow Bells", he fought the resurgence of fascism around Ridley Road Market with the 62 Group and got bruised, whilst mourning the death of his and nana's first newborn, in battles against Oswold Mosely.

He tells stories of how he fell in love with Nana in 1961 to a soundtrack of Marvin Gaye. They triumphed against melancholy and fell deeper in love. In 1966, they celebrated the World Cup win for England together, of which West Ham players were an integral factor!

Having spent the summer away from my parents, I am inspired by the community and political strength of my grandparents. I collide with my parents' capitalist complicity - working in government and global trade; they mock my uncle who gave himself earnestly and entirely to the rave scene of Lea Valley." Soundbites of the family members: • A phone call to the lodger - shopping in Ilford as a Pakistani woman • Grandson - Teenage Frustrations • Grandad - The History Of An East London Print Worker • Nana - A Nigerian Matriarch • Uncle - Cultural History Of The East London Rave Scene • Mum - Affluence, Influence & Merit • Lodger - Far From Home • Bonus

Nana's House was created by lead curator Dr Leila Nassereldein and co-curated by community members Pallavi Chamarty, Omolara Obanishola, Dave Sohanpal and Anh Tran. Supported by Dr Michael McMillan

Artist's works featured around the living room: • Poppy Frean • Sahira Khan • Mercedes Halliday • Shama Kun • Brahim Bendaoud • Lydia Wood • Asim Khairdean • Toyin Gbomedo • John Curtis Films on the TV: • Looking for You - Anna Nguyen & Kristine Landon Smith • Sonia's Whitechapel - Hend Draz, Maya Leonavicius, Fangjiao Liu, Jake London, Angela Josephine Smith & Claire Wasson with special thanks to Sonia Sylvester • Radical Nostalgias - Mercedes Halliday • To Style a Life for Oneself (trailer) - Omolara Obanishola • Dress For Our Time: In conversation with Helen Storey and Michael Saunby - Helen Storey • Drawing Reality - TIGERs • Tarek’s Story - David Betteridge • Reflections from Za’atar - Helen Storey Special thanks to Sahira, Lord Tusk, Theresa, Tony Sullivan, Lee McKarkiel, Furniture Reuse, The Dovetail, Popup Garden Bookshop and Niquelle LaTouche Oct 2023 - Jan 2024

When Taylor creates these memes, she's digging into her own trauma and using art and humor as a way to communicate that. She says it can feel cathartic to create. But these memes can also be helpful and healing to the audience, Theresa Nguyen, the chief program officer at Mental Health America, told Mashable.

"When a person suffers from trauma or a very sad and painful time in their life, there is something to say about the use of humor both to heal or deflect from the pain, or distract and deflect," Nguyen, a licensed clinical social worker who is also speaking from personal experience, told Mashable. "I use humor as a way to lean into moments of suffering while also using humor to help me feel OK."

4 Questions with Hoa Nguyen, Author of A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure

Born in the Mekong Delta, Hoa Nguyen was raised and educated in the United States and has lived in Canada since 2011. She is the author of several books including As Long As Trees Last, Red Juice,  Violet Energy Ingots, and A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure which is new from Wave Books in April 2021. She has served as guest editor for The Best Canadian Poetry in English 2018 and as a judge for the 2020 Griffin Prize. Her writing has garnered attention from such outlets as PBS News Hour, Granta, The Walrus, New York Times, and Poetry, among others.

Hoa is celebrating her new book, A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure on City Lights LIVE!, joined by Garrett Caples, on Tuesday, April 6th, 2021.

***

City Lights: Where are you writing to us from?

Hoa Nguyen: I write to you from Toronto, the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Métis, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation in the Dish With One Spoon Territory.

What’s kept you sane during the pandemic?

Poetry and my friendships, family. The love in my home; the love of my Dale.

What are 3 books you always recommend to people?

John Lemprière’s The Bibliotheca Classica, or Classical Dictionary containing a full Account of all the Proper Names mentioned in Ancient Authors.

The Pillow Book by Sei Shōnagon.

A Guide to the I Ching by Carol K. Anthony or the collaborative translation of the I Ching by Anthony with Hannah Moog where they use a “clarifying method” to assist in that work.

Which writers, artists, and others influence your work in general, and this book, specifically?

Singer-songwriter traditions and folk song. Story as song in verse was something specifically that compelled me. An early musical lesson was from listening to Johnny Cash’s "John Henry" and "Folsom Prison Blues" next to Vietnamese folk songs on a reel-to reel. The poems' narrative form in my new book is lyric that strays into fractures, checks out archive, and seeks musical reference—the orientation remains musical.

Another influence was Joanne Kyger’s work with biography in verse and her proposal of finding the lost tones of the poetry stone, specifically. A mythic orientation whereby you can render the actors of another era palpable and present. Along with that there was the experience studying Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictee in a mythopoetics workshop (where we also read Kyger’s On Time and Alice Notley's The Descent of Alette). Thinking about how poems can address time; how to tell / retell and shape story, new relationships to meaning making, world making.

I was thinking through what it means “to document” to relate from memory. I was also looking into the history of Vietnamese music, especially the monochord of Vietnam, the đàn bầu. The music the bent string produces sounds like a voice and is distinct to the southern Mekong delta region, influenced by the Cham. The notes blur and bend in similar progressions as Mississippi delta blues and the slide guitar, too, has shared voice-like qualities.

Why don’t people trust science?

The doubt of scientific expertise is dangerous, especially during the weird times we live in now. In 2020, when vaccines were still being produced, we saw rising anti-vaccination views on the internet. Anti-vax groups discussed safety concerns, conspiracy theories, and alternative medicine, including false causes and cures of the COVID-19 virus. Some people went as far as claiming that the new 5G technology was the cause of the virus.

Today, with so much information available to us, it is tough to distinguish the truth from all the fake news on the internet seeking clicks and easy money. Without a proper STEM education, someone can easily be fooled by any fraudulent speech as long as it sounds “sciency” enough. This lack of education is certainly not due to the lack of science being done.

Each year, more than 1 million scientific articles describing new technologies and discoveries are published. And that’s only in the field of medicine! Why, then, do people still believe that radio waves can cause a virus infection?

That’s because the information that scientists are publishing is not available to the general public! And there are two reasons for that:

1. Scientific papers are published in closed journals.

The first reason is very straightforward. Most of the academic articles are published in journals that demand a high fee for access. Even scientists sometimes have trouble accessing articles that are relevant to their field of research. To access such papers, one would either have to pay, get access through a university VPN, or look for an alternative supplier, such as the shadow library Sci-Hub.

This, of course, makes access to scientific information much harder. Without an actual need, someone outside of STEM is unlikely to go out of their way to access academic papers. Suppose the information is not accessible on the first page of a Google search. In that case, someone who’s simply curious will probably not find the most up-to-date information on the subject.

2. Scientific papers are not written for the general public.

Let’s say that people had good access to scientific articles. Even if this was the case, people would still have a hard time understanding what is written. Whatever scientists write is complete gibberish to the general public! Hell, sometimes it’s gibberish for me who reads scientific articles daily!

How can we expect the general public to be informed about science when what scientists write is unreadable without background knowledge? A traditional scientific paper is full of jargon and acronyms that make the text-heavy and hard to follow.

I’m not proposing that we change the way scientists report their findings. After all, all the technical terms are essential to fully describe the subject that is being discussed. Instead, I’m revisiting the old idea that more streams of reliable scientific information that is tailored for the general public should be available. Today most of the published science is seen only by scientists to produce more science to be seen by scientists. It rarely exists towards the ‘real world.’

The consequence is that the public develops a mistrust towards scientists because they have no idea what scientists do! Today’s science is almost a black box that outputs something every once in a while when the new discovery is exciting or sensational enough to be shown on mainstream media.

For this reason, more scientists should get involved in social media to report their daily findings and to make science more familiar to the general public. Scientists showing their faces on YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, or Tiktok can make science more friendly, more human, and more relatable. That way, trust can be restored.

What if scientists start showcasing their science?

What does the public win?

As more and more scientists start presenting the science they make, the public will have access to more information. They will certainly begin to learn new things. The increased presence of scientific content on the internet will ignite people’s curiosity and stimulate their critical thinking. The best part is that all the new curiosity will be fed with legitimate content presented by people who understand it. Plus, the content will hopefully be presented in a more relatable and familiar way, making learning science much more enjoyable!

Overall, we’d expect people to become better citizens as they learn more about different subjects while having fun with relatable content produced by scientists.

What do scientists win?

A scientist getting involved in science communication will have the chance to better understand “the big picture” of their research. Science communication forces scientists to think differently and look at their research from new angles.

Also, scientists would make their voices heard. As the general public learns more about their work and as their audience increases, they get more leverage to advocate for social justice supported by their research. Plus, they gain greater trust with the public.

The greater trust increases their reputation, which can certainly come with many more advantages, including new funding sources for their research!

Additionally, by getting involved in science communication, scientists can develop and refine many new skills such as public speaking, teamwork, project management, writing, etc.

What does everyone win?

As mentioned previously, an increased scientific presence in social media may lead to a more educated public who trusts scientists more. People would be more likely to believe scientists and follow instructions proposed by them based on scientific evidence. This will undoubtedly lead to better cooperativity when we fight global warming, try to contain a pandemic, or when we have to deal with any new challenge.

In other words, we don’t lose our planet to global warming, and fewer people will die because of new viruses and preventable diseases.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

The COVID 19 Pandemic seems to have restored some of the trust in the scientific community.

Every year, the company 3M performs an international survey trying to quantify how society feels about science. They have been conducting the survey for the past 3 years now. Every year, they saw an increasing mistrust in science from the general public.

This past year, they decided to perform the survey a second time to see if the global pandemic impacted the view that people had of science. For the first time since they started conducting the study, they reported a decrease in people saying that they are skeptical of science! The pandemic didn’t only cause a decline in this number but brought it down to its all-time low at 28%! Before the pandemic, 35% of people reported being skeptical of science. That’s more than 1 in 3 people!

Check out the results of their survey here!

The mistrust in science has decreased during the pandemic partly because scientists were forced to be more involved in science communication, as governments had to maintain the population informed. During this past year, we saw plenty of scientists on television. Dr. Anthony Fauci in the United States and Dr. Theresa Tam in Canada are great examples of new familiar faces from science.

Plus, many scientists using platforms such as Tiktok and Youtube increased their audience since the beginning of the pandemic. Some of my favourite examples are Darrion Nguyen (@lab_shenanigans on Tiktok) and Hank Green (@hankgreen1 on Tiktok).

This is great motivation for new scientists to get out there and start reporting their latest findings in ways that people can understand and relate to.

If you read all the way down here, thank you! You’re a legend! I’d love to hear your opinion on the subject and discuss it a bit more! Let me know if you’re a scientist yourself. If you’re interested in getting involved in Sci-Comm, but you’re not quite sure where to start, send me a message, and we can exchange some ideas! I’m trying to get started on that myself!

Cheers,

Matheus Schultz.

5 Questions with Sally Wen Mao, Author of Oculus

Sally Wen Mao is the author of a previous poetry collection, Mad Honey Symposium. She has received fellowships from the New York Public Library Cullman Center, the George Washington University, and Kundiman. Visit her website at sallywenmao.com. Sally will be celebrating her newest book, Oculus, published by Graywolf, at City Lights Bookstore, in conversation with Jennifer S. Cheng on Thursday, March 14th, 2019.

City Lights: If you’ve been to City Lights before, what’s your memory of the visit? If you haven’t been here before, what are you expecting?

Sally Wen Mao: I grew up in the Bay Area, and my memories of visiting City Lights always involve me being in awe of all the history that surrounds it––Ginsberg, Kerouac, the Beats. I have always loved the quiet and sunshine of the Poetry Room upstairs, and the fact that the store is close to Chinatown. It's always been an iconic space for me, a haven of sorts. The most recent time I visited was for an event with Viet Thanh Nguyen and Maxine Hong Kingston, and watching them banter and converse was so thrilling.

CL: What’s the first book you read & what are you reading right now?

SWM: The first book I read that I still remember vividly is probably One Hundred Years of Solitude. I read it in ninth grade. As for the actual first book I read . . . I'm not sure if I remember! I loved Roald Dahl, Goosebumps, and the Baby-Sitters Club series as a kid. Currently I'm reading Ornamentalism by Anne Anlin Cheng, The Idiot by Elif Batuman, and Zora Neale Hurston's Dust Tracks on a Road.

CL: What are 3 books you would you never part with?

SWM: Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde, The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin, and Dictee by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha.

CL: What writers/artists/people do you find the most influential to the writing of this book and/or your writing in general?

SWM: Ai, June Jordan, Cathy Park Hong, Nam June Paik, Lucille Clifton, Audre Lorde, Frida Kahlo, Langston Hughes, Satoshi Kon, James Baldwin, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Ana Mendieta, Rihanna, and Anna May Wong, and probably so many more.

CL: If you opened a bookstore tomorrow, where would it be located, what would it be called, and what would your bestseller be?

SWM: I'd love a bookstore that's as huge as a library, with treasure troves of books arranged in beautiful sculptural formations. It would have an oculus or a skylight on the top, and lots of beautiful quiet spaces––tables and chairs––for studying and writing. The bestseller would be all books by women of color. A literal safe space. This is all a fantasy, but you know.
