I’ll be presenting my project “One Day We’ll Understand”, on a chapter of the hidden histories from Cold War-era Southeast Asia — as a performative reading — at the Magnum Foundation “Counter Histories” symposium next Tuesday May 1, alongside an amazing slate of speakers.
My long and still-in-progress project stems from family history but has become a research, archival and visual project delving into trauma, memory, representation and historiography.
I first devised this performative reading while on a Docking Station artist residency in Amsterdam last year.

Those who can’t be there, Magnum Foundation will be live-streaming the event via its FB page.
My project over the years has received support from IWMF, Asia Society New York/ ChinaFile, National Arts Council Singapore, Ee Hoe Hean club and private individuals.
Look forward to sharing it here in New York and excited for exchange of ideas and inspiration on Tuesday!
