The History Projects

Context

This richly illustrated monograph serves as a comprehensive critical guide to “The History Projects,” an expansive body of work created by Hong Kong-born Australian artist John Young Zerunge between 2005 and 2019. Comprising 11 interconnected art series, these projects delve into themes of diasporic memory, transcultural identity, and what Young describes as an “ethical responsibility” toward history as unfinished business—particularly exploring the long presence, contributions, violence, and benevolence experienced by the Chinese diaspora in Australia since the 1840s.
