Abstract
More than 300 people from Myanmar have settled in the regional town of Coffs Harbour, Australia. Some of these settlers have spent more than 20 years in refugee camps. They have fled their homeland with little more than their memories and their stories. But these memories allow their traditions to continue. And food can play an important role in reproducing this cultural identity.
This film was completed as part of Doctor of Philosophy research in the School of Arts and Social Sciences at Southern Cross University.
The full film (25 minutes) has screened in film festivals in Australia, Europe and North America, including:
