The NON NATIVE NATIVE FAIR is an experimental hybrid event that brings together Asian creative cultural practitioners from various backgrounds and disciplines to present their work and products in an online trade fair environment. By repurposing the concept of an “Asian cultural fair” — a collage of elements which represent Asian culture — the NNN FAIR examines the positions and relationships of Aliens within the Dutch cultural landscape by blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction, appreciation and appropriation, labour and play. The FAIR is organised by Non Native Native in collaboration with Berlin-based collectives sōydivision and un.thai.tled. — From nnnfair.com

I’m going to be showcasing three new paintings and presenting the thoughts behind them at this online fair, alongside the works of other creatives across Europe and the world! I feel honored to have been selected for this event and to take part in the wider discussion of what it is to be Asian (in Europe!).
Join me on opening weekend to see the works from my new project Not Quite Made in China: Rocks and other memories from Sichuan.
