A Reflection: Letters Against Separation + Let Individuals Represent Individuals
This essay was commissioned as a response to a talk given by Beijing-based artist/curator Liu Ding & curator Carol Yinghua Lu on June 18, 2020. The talk was programmed by Henry Heng Lu of Centre A and hosted by the Pacific Crossings collective. Video of the talk can be viewed on Vimeo. More than a response, it is also about affinities; being Chinese, but not being from China; being Canadian; surviving the social and racializing affects of the COVID-19 pandemic up until that point, and about the imperialism of the English language.
