Voice ESEA look forward to welcoming people on 4 September for a launch reception honouring the Titanic's Chinese passengers.

Their mission is, through their police-reported hate crime data project and events, inclusive of their annual history exhibition (ECHO: ESEA Collective: History, Over here) to provide resources necessary to prioritise support and uplift ESEA voices as well as to create spaces for the British community to safely discuss belongingness. ECHO Vol. 2 was launched in May 2025 which focused on the six Chinese survivors of the Titanic. It followed their reasons for being on board the ship and how they survived, but most of all, how they were treated and how their stories were ultimately forgotten throughout time.

Portico Library's Pop-Up space will be home to the exhibition throughout ESEA Heritage Month in September and fittingly embodies this year's theme "Reframing Resilience", as it details the resilience the men had in order to both survive the tragedy and for some, to live their lives beyond it.
