Tiffany Chung’s "reconstructing an exodus history: boat trajectories, ports of first asylum and resettlement countries is a hand-embroidered map of the world which locates the departure point, route and ports of disembarkation of fleeing Vietnamese who left their homeland by boat between 1979 and 1989 as political refugees after the Vietnam war to other countries around Asia and onwards to other parts of the world."
