The Chindian Diaries

Kevin Bathman is a Malaysian-born curator, storyteller, and social change advocate who has been based in Australia. He is perhaps best known as the founder of ‘The Chindian Diaries ‘, a project that combines visual and oral history to document cross-cultural stories between the Chinese and Indian communities. The project has since spun off into various forms, including exhibitions and performances. Kevin talks to us about this project, and how the arts and social change can intersect.
