A Story of Canadian Immigration - Dec. 2015
-
Description
-
This visual assignment will be examining the story of a German community member of the London German Club. I will be sharing his story of coming to Canada and all the changes he had to go through culturally and socially. He decided to leave behind a farm that had been passed down in his family for over 14 generations and I would like to see what feeling he was experiencing at that time. I will be examining the struggles and difficulties that this individual has encountered throughout the opening few years of being exposed to an alien culture. When immigrants leave behind their homeland they either fall in love with the country they move to or regret their decision. This portrait will also be exploring to see if the individual ultimately considers themselves as Canadian or German after having live in Ontario for over 30 years.
