Memory & Exile | Rose Tang

Overview

Memory & Exile is a multimedia project that looks at the lives of individuals living in exile, both forced and self-imposed, and examines how recollection and memory affect them. The first part of this project documents the lives of student leaders and members of the democracy movement who protested during the June Fourth Incident, better known in the West as the Tiananmen Square Massacre. In the spring of 1989, students in Beijing gathered to mourn the passing of the liberal reformer Hu Yaobang. By the end of May, the mourning had turned to protests, with more than a million students, workers, intellectuals, police officers and even low ranking party officials calling for freedom of speech, freedom of the press and ultimately, for democracy.
