Upcoming: Panel Talk at Litteraturhuset, Bergen

Join me for a panel talk at Litteraturhuset Bergen on Saturday 17th October at 13:00!

Together with moderator Ben Yu, and artists Nhu Diep, Linxuan-Vanessa Gong and Albert Cheng-syun Tang, I will be exploring the question “How can native cultures contribute to the creative professional life in a foreign/multicultural context?”

“Why I Stay” is a panel discussion connected to the exhibition series with the same title at Northing Space, a new art space in front of Litteraturhuset. Four exhibitors, all with an East Asian ethnic background, will join the panel together with the co-founder of Northing Ben Wenhou Yu, to tell their stories about why they have chosen to live and work in Norway.

Den store kunstdagen, Lillestrøm

A big thank you to everyone who visited our Open Studio and Pop-Up Show at Blaker gamle meieri (Blaker Old Dairy).

It was a great privilege and joy to once again welcome visitors to the print studio of late artist Guttorm Guttormsgaard, and to help carry on his legacy.
