Research

TAEC conducts primary research in ethnic communities, developing close relationships to localise and enrich the information collected. TAEC’s own team visits the field at least twice a year to document festivals and special events, record oral histories of community elders, research artefacts in our collection, and explore future exhibition themes. This research informs our exhibitions, is shared with students and academics, and is recorded in film, photographs, and written accounts in the TAEC library.
