Continuing his explorations on the experiences of diasporic communities, Rungjang interviewed and worked with migrant workers in various countries, while piecing together the personal experience of his late father who was assaulted by racists when he was working in Germany. Connected through the theme of familial trauma, the sound installation They Beat Your Father lays its focus on the long-lasting impacts of migrant labour in the private realm through recordings of the sounds around the artist’s house accompanied by texts.
