Exhibition summary

Threads of Home is a group exhibition for ESEA Heritage Month that explores how memories, traditions, and the materials of home shape individual identity. The showcase features three Oxford-based artists alongside a collaborative community project, reflecting on themes of migration, belonging, and cultural adaptation.

Curatorial context

Threads of Home serves as a conceptual anchor for the 2026 ESEA Heritage Month theme, 'Evolving Threads.' The exhibition highlights the dynamic nature of cultural heritage, demonstrating how traditions and identities continuously adapt across generations and geographies. By bringing together the experiences of British-born ESEA artists and migrants, the exhibition creates a multifaceted dialogue on what it means to find a sense of belonging in a changing world. Featured artists include Lucy Foo, who documents the realities of motherhood; Thomas Li, who explores the intersection of ethnic awareness and belonging; and Kit Hui Teo, whose work addresses migration and cultural identity. The exhibition further bridges art and community through a collaborative Batik workshop led by folk artist Zariq Rosita-Hanif in partnership with the Oxford Chinese Community and Advice Centre (OCCAC), which is accompanied by photographic documentation of the vibrant local community.
