‘Care Chains (Love Will Continue To Resonate)’

Moi Tran employs research, theatre, text, sound, installation, video and performance to examine theorisations on the politics of emotional reckoning and states of displaced feeling. Tran’s work probes encounters of witnessing in events of fugitive performativity and the politics of sound as critical record. Her interests in alternative modes of communication have produced experiments for imagining and performing counternarratives inside and outside archives of information. She works with collaborators from diverse walks of life to reimagine performance-making.

The Voice of Domestic Workers (VODW) is a London-based education and support group calling for justice and rights for Britain’s migrant domestic workers. Founded in 2009 and established as a charity in 2017, VODW seeks to end discrimination and protect migrant domestic workers living in the UK by providing or assisting in the provision of education, training and healthcare to the community. Together with this, they campaign energetically for governmental policy change in respect of workers’ rights. VODW is a powerful example of a community with lived experience in many of the problems associated with modern slavery today. They combine their unique perspective with the practical development of important skills and self-confidence, enabling their members to tell their own stories and become effective advocates for their cause.
