Abstract
Scholar Tao Leigh Goffe, co-editor of the Journal of Indentureship and
Its Legacies, interviews mixed media visual artist Andrea Chung who
is based in the United States. Connecting the histories of the Great Experiment
of indenture in Mauritius and the Trinidad Experiment of Chinese indentureship
in the Caribbean, the two discuss the history of labour exploitation and the
abolition of racial slavery comparatively across oceans. Themes include those
tackled in Chung's artwork spanning colonialism, loss, motherhood, Afro-Asian
heritage, and the material culture of global indentureship.
