Zadie Xa's House Gods, Animal Guides and Five Ways 2 Forgiveness at the Whitechapel Gallery

Project 2- Identity Exhibition Report

On Tuesday 22 November for my identity project I went to see an exhibition, Zadie Xa: House Gods, Animal Guides and Five Ways 2 Forgiveness at the White Chapel Gallery. It's an art installation, Zadie Xa presents her issue of familial legacies, histories of migration and the ways in which different species communicate with one another in sculptures, textiles and paintings, coming from the artist’s spiritual, folklore, religious rituals with hybrid and diasporic identities on a large scale structure inspired from traditional Korean home, hanok, filled with enveloping audio and lighting transforming a historic architect into this mystical landscape.

In this exhibition what I found interesting is the way she uses the framework of Korean mythology as a narrative to explore these issues. Paintings, sculptures, textile works, hanging puppets, and masks are featured throughout the exhibit, many of which depict various types of animals. Animals are often the main characters in many fables, which help educate society and help talk about power structures and moral dilemmas. The recurring concept of tigers, foxes and seagulls speak to Xa's continued exploration of the "trickster" archetype. Its existence is a disruptive outsider that causes and inspires change in the general social and cultural order. While Xa narrates that have been erased and repressed by the West, where her diasporic identity comes to play here. This is also reflected in the title of the exhibition, 'House Gods'. This refers to the spiritual practices of Buddhism and Korean shamanism, as well as communities around the world who practise ancestor worship and pay homage to the "house deities." Widely worshipped by many different cultural groups about gods and spirits that protect the home and ensure prosperity and health. It also refers to the belief that by acknowledging the deceased and honouring family ancestors, a god or spirit will forgive past wrongdoings and bring happiness to the home. This forgiveness in the artist’s own journey comes in play with how the diaspora are disjointed from their cultural communities and the ways in which regrouping can be sought through acknowledging those that came before us.

Identity: Documentation and discussion of my project

Initially when starting this project on identity, I assumed it would be something easy to talk about and be able to come up with an abundance of ideas almost straight away. However, as we delved further, I realised that in fact it’s quite a difficult topic for me to explore.

One of the first things that came to mind when thinking about identity was family and culture. It’s something I don’t really talk about because I only really have my immediate family and I don’t really have a connection to anyone outside of that. I think it’s always been a difficult topic for my parents too as their relationship with their families was not the best, which is probably why it was kept from me. When it comes to culture, I feel like I’ve missed out on that part of my identity too because it wasn’t introduced to me till later, and when it was it felt like it was almost too late. I couldn’t connect with them the way you would expect a family would. I also don’t know any of my family from both Mauritian and English sides, I think that’s why I also struggle to connect to others and fit in because I haven’t had that experience. When going to Zadie Xa’s exhibition, I initially chose it purely because it interested me the most, I didn’t think it would connect to my final piece. However, after viewing it I felt the main concept of it was to comment on how culture and history can be lost over time. Even though I don’t relate completely, I found myself relating to the part of lost culture which was quite surprising. Additionally, I experienced a sense of being sheltered and continuously told "don't trust anyone" when I was growing up. As I mentioned before, I really struggle to find connection with people from being shut off for most of my life, therefore I believe that experiences like that had a significant impact on the way I am today.

Being inspired by Tracey Emins theme of lived experiences, I was able to form the idea of creating something that represented me, and my inner child being protected by multiple layers. Even if that “protection” became the very thing that damaged me. On the front of the box, I wanted it to symbolise how I portray myself to others and how I feel as though I cater those emotions to what I expect others want. The hands around the box are also a symbol for that, being my parents or others around me. When creating the layers, I was inspired by how trees create a new ring of growth each year. I initially was going to have 22 layers as that is my age but came to the realisation that I would have to make the box a lot bigger than planned. If I had a chance to replicate this idea, I’d handmake a figure of myself and physically wrap it in 22 different layers. At the end I would cut it in half to reveal the same sort of concept, just in another form.
