In search of what has been lost, what remains, and what can be reclaimed.

‘Relics: An Eye Once Blind’ is the striking first chapter of artist-in-residence Joshua Serafin’s ‘Lost Ancestors' series, where personal and colonial histories intertwine. Starting from their Japanese great-great-grandfather’s migration to the Philippines in 1903, Serafin traces forgotten family stories and the ruptures caused by migration and trauma.

Serafin is a resident artist at VIERNULVIER and is internationally renowned. Their work has been showcased at leading venues and festivals, including the Venice Biennale.
