Whose House is this? (2026)

Whose House is This? is a publication exploring childhood, migration, and domestic labour through personal and intergenerational storytelling. Combining writing, illustration, archival imagery, sound, and participatory making, the project reflects on experiences of accompanying a parent to employers’ homes during childhood and revisiting those moments through reflection and changing awareness over time. Alongside the publication, a workshop memory kit with prompts, booklets, and collage materials was developed to support participatory reflection with adults who are also children of domestic workers.
