Between Dreams: Resistance and Representation in Asian Aotearoa | Te Papa
This landmark collection presents fresh, progressive perspectives on what it means to be βAsianβ in Aotearoa.
The book is in press! HK Lennon Wall cover fuck yeah β @keithng.bsky.social , harking back to Te Papa's first round of Asian activist materials collections. I wrote the intro & a few other bits & bobs. Can't wait to see how Grace has let our history speak through objects in the national collection.

My dental crown broke last week (apparently, it just happens sometimes), I had it replaced today and MY GOD. It wasnβt even this painful when it originally went in the day after my tooth was pulled. I havenβt been this miserable since I was a kid with an expander my mother had to widen every night.
