    Home As Archive - Event Transcript Event begins Title Slide: Pink background with white text that reads “Home as Archive: Presented in collaboration with Essex Book Festival & Metals Culture, Southend. EWF logo and festival dates are in the lower right corner” Video One: Katerina Bryant Welcome to Home as Archive. My name is Katerina and I will be a host and artist this evening. To begin, I would like to acknowledge the first nations and Traditional Owners of the land we are broadcasting from – I am currently on Kaurna land, where I live and write. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, and, as this is an online recording whose reach is far, to the Elders of the lands this recording might reach. For this event, we will be discussing home, spaces and histories. This is part of the wonderful EWF and is presented in collaboration with Essex Book Festival & Metal Culture, Southend. Tonight, we will be witnessing work by artists working between so-called Australia and Essex, England. They will be sharing artefacts from the archives of their personal histories. I anticipate there will be an intimacy tonight as we will be peering into these artists’ homes. Where we live and, who and what we share those spaces with, is intimate and vulnerable. In some ways the past year has allowed us to peer into each other’s homes over Zoom, but in others it has separated us from sharing space with people we cherish. I’d love to frame tonight as not only a look into these artist’s homes and lives but the creation of our own archive – capturing this moment through place and objects.

AVILA FOR THE NOAA 50th ORAL HISTORY PROJECT INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY MOLLY GRAHAM MIAMI, FLORIDA DECEMBER 14, 2020 TRANSCRIPT BY MOLLY GRAHAM Molly Graham: This is an oral history interview with Dr. Lixion Avila for the NOAA 50th Oral History Project. The interviewer is Molly Graham. Today is December 14, 2020. It’s a remote interview with Dr. Avila in Miami, Florida, and I’m in Scarborough, Maine. I like to start at the beginning. Could you say when and where you were born? Lixion Avila: I was born in Havana, Cuba, on Thanksgiving in 1950. It was November 25, 1950. I think it was a day before or something like that. But my mother always talked to me about how I was born on Thanksgiving Day. Most of the people tell me, “Oh, Thanksgiving in Cuba?” I say, “Yes, I grew up in an American church, so it was celebrated there.” MG: Well, happy belated birthday. LA: Thank you. MG: Now, tell me a little bit more about your family history, starting on your father’s side. LA: My family, I do not know too much about the family history. I just did Ancestry.com a year ago. My father’s family is from Spain. Avila, my last name, is as Spanish as you can get. I do not know too much about my mother’s family. All I know is that my grandfather came from Eastern Europe to Cuba in the 1900s.

Surrounded by rocks, this house is unprotected from the winds that batter the coast. There are no barrier pines between the water and the wood. This house is on the island of Oahu. This house has five bedrooms, three baths, and a lanai that looks out onto a murky sea. You live in this house. This is your house. It used to be that this house was ours, from the wooden floors to the glass windowed doors. I called this place my home because it was where I felt we belonged: this home, this house, our home.

  • Impact Case Study
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Newcastle University Unit of Assessment: 29 English Language and Literature Title of case study: Red Dust Road: New forms of memoir and the enrichment and extension of public discourse on family, identity, belonging and adoption 1. Summary of the impact Professor Jackie Kay’s memoir Red Dust Road (2010), her account of growing up black in Glasgow, the adopted daughter of white parents, and her search for her birth parents, challenges and extends public discourse on identity, family and belonging, using memoir to explore the complexities and emotional resonances of the difficult issues raised. Responses to the work point to its significant on-going impact in civil society on the understanding of adoption, including transracial adoption, and how society defines family. Its impact can be judged by the media coverage received and its widespread use in the public sphere in discussions of issues of identity, adoption and family. Its reach is evidenced through the number, range and popularity of Kay's readings as well as the book’s sales and its reception within groups not traditionally thought of as typical audiences for literary memoir. 2. Underpinning research Jackie Kay MBE was Northern Arts Literary Fellow in the School of English at Newcastle from 2002-04, appointed to a senior lectureship in 2004 and promoted to a personal chair in 2006. From her influential poetry collection The Adoption Papers (1991) onwards, her writing has investigated complex issues around identity, and probed the power of stories and storytelling to reveal and transform lives. Several poems on this subject appeared in her 2005 collection Life Mask (1).

    Interview with Philip May Under the Auspices of the Monmouth County Library Headquarters 125 Symmes Drive, Manalapan, N.J. Flora T. Higgins, Project Coordinator Date of Interview: August 10, 2000 Name of Interviewer: Douglas Aumack Premises of Interview: Mr. May's home, Ocean Grove, NJ Birthdate of Subject: August 4, 1939 Mr. May with friends Mr. Aumack: How did you come to Monmouth celebrating the last dinner on the Titanic County? Mr. May: I was born in Long Branch in Monmouth County and I've lived here all my life, so that's how I came here. Mr. Aumack: What hospital was it? Mr. May: It was Hazard's Hospital, but is now Monmouth Medical Center. Mr. Aumack: How small was that hospital? Mr. May: I imagine it was quite small; of course I don't remember because I was small myself. But I know from my mother telling me that it was a small hospital and Dr. Hazard was in charge. Mr. Aumack: How long was your family here before you were born, do you know? Mr. May: My family goes back in Monmouth on the Covert side; the family home was in Wayside, and I don't know how many years they were there, but probably from the early 1800s. Maybe even before then. There's a Methodist Church on the hill in Wayside that seemed to be the church of all the farm families in the area and we're still there. I was just there with my sisters, up visiting the grave sites; her husband died not too long ago.
