Context Creative Award for Storytelling Design: Crooked Line

01/09/21

By Maham Momin Student RGD, OCAD University, Toronto, ON

This collective, through photographs and typography reflecting displacement and fragmentation, aims to connect and educate children of South Asian immigrants, through stories of their ancestors filling the gaps in the knowledge, experiences and culture that are often felt by the South Asian children abroad. The red circles further connected with each other represents community and at the same time show intergenerational trauma as a result of the partition and migration.
