Yesterday i went to look for the crocuses that emerge every year around this time. for many years i have gone to meet them in their bloom, to let them know i have been waiting, and that i love them. in the midst of all that is happening now, i also bore witness to a momentary bloom of relief in me, that my confidence in their arrival was not disappointed. and so i stumbled into joy.
Happy Birthday to this newly minted 25 yr old woooooooo 🥳 even though you’re far away now, we still syncing and living out our grandma ways. Here’s to more long not-talking sessions, at-home stretching, gallery hopping, ourjxms mixtapes, getting caught in the rain, watching fish videos, eating kaya crackers, and windy meandering conversations ☺️
“to stay with a problem, to dwell on its multiple complexities; to push against one’s own inadequacies of comprehension, and moreover, to savor the slow process of discovery.” - Saba Mahmood ———— “To critique a particular normative regime is not to reject or condemn it; rather, by analyzing its regulatory and productive dimensions, one only deprives it of an innocence and neutrality so as to craft, perhaps, a different future.” - Saba Mahmood ———— “how hope is constructed in time, through the very events that were meant to jettison that hope, through the fabric of relationships that endure the disaster, without the lure of transcending the present...” - Basit Iqbal on Saba Mahmood ———— A brief catalogue on working thinks of the heart.
throwback to 2019 travel days ☺️

temporary company. 💘
“Such distress moved in with muscle and bone. Its entrance by necessity slowly translated my already grief into a tremendously exhausted hope. The translation occurred unconsciously, perhaps occurred simply because I was alive. The translation occurs as a form of life. Then life, which seems so full of waiting, awakes suddenly into a life of hope.” — A book I will return to inevitably, for as long as I live. #claudiarankine #munreads #shelflife
2020 vision 👀
mushrooms are for the soul. ☺️

#jxmsmixtape: wiggle your butt 👻. With #socialdistancing being enforced across the globe, we’ve decided to spend April sharing some of the music that we’re listening to to help us get through this difficult & scary season. We’ve got some perfect tunes to keep you moving & enjoying. Also, special butt-wiggling vids from us 😉Check ‘em out at link in bio🕺🏻
#SOTD: 華晨宇 (Hua Chenyu) - 好想愛這個世界 It’s hard to find @huachenyu’s music on YouTube as they are largely released on Asian / China-specific streaming platforms. Once in a while though, something makes its way to this side of the world and I am always grateful. This song is called “I Want To Love This World”. - 不想離開 也許嘗試過被愛 if I don’t want to leave, it’s because in trying to be loved 會開始仰望未來 i started hoping for a future - 👉 Listen at link in bio. #huachenyu #chinesemusic

#SOTD: 玫瑰少年 by 蔡依林 / 阿信. “I love it when multiple versions of the same song emerge into the world. I love how both versions are deeply personal responses to tragedy and both calls to action and change in different ways. It’s one of the few times I look into the mainstream music scene and feel a deep sense of hope.” - Read the full post! Link in bio ☝️
#tbt2010 This was the year Hebe, the veritable goddess, began her solo career. This was also the year the folk duo Okdal debuted with a love letter to the days we’ve felt the lowest. Soulful & lyrical hip hop was growing as Supreme Team reached its peak, while rappers like Soft Lipa gathered a loyal group of followers. - Check ‘em highlights out at link in bio 🍑
#SOTD: 새소년 - 긴 꿈 / Se So Neon - A Long Dream 💫 - After a thrilling debut in 2017, this alt rock band announced their last concert in December 2018 as the two male members had to go for their military service. The vocalist & guitarist @sleeep__sheeep went solo, until early this summer two new members joined to restart the band. - The title song that put them on the radar, “긴 꿈” also made everyone fall in love with So Yoon’s husky voice. From xylophone beats to drum echoes, it’s a surreal adventure through a long-winding lucid dream. - “수상한 밤들이 계속되던 날 when mysterious nights continued 언젠가부터 나는 좀 달라졌다 suddenly, i began to change 빛 바래간 내 웃음이 눈치 없이 삐져나올 때 when my faded bright smile left me without a hint” - Check out the song, including its fun music video by Japanese animator Hoji Tsuchiya at http://bit.ly/ourjxmsdream 🌝

#APRILBBsMA with @ayebbey words i still hold onto // words that acknowledged, that saw and understood; put a warm hand on my shoulder; held my hands with tears — 마치 나를 본 것 같다. 메기 처럼 지켜보며 내가 믿음을 잃는 순간 필요한 말을 해줬다.
#APRILBBsMA with @ayebbey moving forward // to take kinder care. 제일 힘들지만 제일 중요한 것은 자기 자신을 잘 보살피는 거다.
#AprilBBsMA with @ayebbey. the passing year // challenging myself to take new steps. the open landscape of bare starkness giving clarity on how to move forward. the rich greenery of my new stage moving me closer — 지나간 한 해는 정말 대단했다. 젊다라는 핑계로 큰 도전을 하게 되었다. 그 도전을 향해 가면서 느꼈던 혼자의 힘과 외로움이 제일 기억에 남는다.
a full year has passed since our first #AprilBBsMA, which means a full year of growing, experiencing, and moving. my fellow april bb @ayebbey and i will once again bombard your feed, this time our visual reflection & response of remembering what we’ve been given; accepting how we felt; questioning where we are going. follow us this april!

“Dressed in Layers” is grassroots project started by @erinkangster and @harrietnotthespy, which uses hanbok to explore the relationship that the Korean Canadian diaspora hold with the residing land and the homeland, as well as the many spaces in-between. Participating in this project gave me an opportunity to question what it means to wear a hanbok — or generally, to embrace Korean tradition — as a person who cannot fully call herself Korean, and whose passport associates to her birth country, a country which gave unmeasurable pain. These two wonderful womxn have created an important project to highlight the beauty of hanbok and the diverse narratives of the diaspora. I’m shy in front of camera but they have managed to capture me at a special community space of @187augusta. I’m honoured to have my photo (this one’s a b cut!) and story alongside those of incredible womxn at “Dressed in Layers” premiere exhibition in April 2020 @northerncontemporary.🌼Support this project! Make this exhibition come true! Head over to @dressedinlayers_to to share or contribute! - (also is ‘b cut’ a korean term bc i couldn’t find an eng definition, but only k celeb photos)
// burden(some), 2018 with @ayebbey (@projectx40c), as part of @artstartsto Arowana Program. - 1/3 what burdens do we carry from our family, cultural history, and lived experiences? this month-long workshop series explored individual and collective burdens, and how we can envision ways to embrace our burdens and support the sustainability of ourselves. we began with a communal storytelling, and abby and i were surprised at the vulnerability people shared with each other. (q: how does one ensure a safe space? does everyone feel safe?). - second part involved visually manifesting our stories into clay tiles. i distinctly remember one of the participants saying how this was his first time using clay and how worried, but also excited he felt. a reason why we do the work we do.
