Items of The Tamil Diaspora

Website archive

“Items of the Tamil Diaspora, an online archive that documents everyday household objects commonly found in Tamil homes. These objects—both ordinary and sacred—carry with them untold stories of migration, longing, and cultural continuity. Together, the film and archive offer a layered and nuanced portrayal of what it means to rebuild identity and preserve memory across generations and geographies. ”
