Showcase is a Denizen series exhibiting artist work relating to Third Culture Kids. This work is not produced by Denizen and does not reflect the opinions of the magazine.

From Alaine Handa:

This was my senior project on Third Culture Kids for my major at UCLA: World Arts and Culture with a concentration in dance studies. The mixed media project was completed in 2005 and featured interviews, dance, poetry and music. The video featured below is an abridged version of the entire piece.
