0,1 Space and Identity is a project which aims to aspire individuals and communities with an understanding of our diverse heritages. The Project is funded by Arts Council England East and supported by Momentum Arts Diversity Programme, Cross Currents and the Peterborough School of Arts with a matching fund from local councils and schools.

"0" (Generation 0) represents those people like myself with cross-cultural experience - one travels from one culture and lives in a place of another culture. "1" represents the 1st generation who was born locally (for example those born in Great Britain) but have a dual cultural heritage through their parentage. "0" also symbolises space, and "1", Identity - "0ut of many, 1 people", an aspiration I acquired from our fieldwork in Jamaica.

THE POWER OF ONE

One smile can start a lasting friendship
One step can begin an epic journey
One star can guide a lonely ship
One dream can create a leading attorney

One vision can change a nation
One hope can remove all doom
One idea can spark innovation
One act can conquer gloom

One voice can speak with wisdom
One heart can love you true
One life can make a difference
One is all that’s needed, make sure it’s you!

The concept behind 0,1 Space & Identity is to examine the effect of migration (0), and any subsequent experiences of disillusionment, displacement, alienation and/or reintegration, and how these experience impacted on the next generation (1) and beyond. Jamaica became the 'common ground' for the sharing of space with Jamaican and Chinese communities both in Jamaica and Great Britain.
