Kotatsu season got me like โ˜บ๏ธ
โ€œYour imagination needs to be broken in, I think, to become anywhere near as weird as the world.โ€ โ€ข This year marked my (finally) return to books, and I am winding down the year with this collection of essays by Alexander Chee. So refreshing and compelling. These pieces unfold into connecting parts: vibrant and tender, reflective and dynamic. I hear Cheeโ€™s voice so distinctly while reading, yet also find myself pausing to reread a sentence to figure out the decisions he made to put those words together in that way and to savour their impact. โ€ข Still making my way through it, but in this season, the books that excite me are the ones throbbing with the shapes of language Iโ€™ve not seen yet. โ˜บ๏ธ
a season of waiting for hard work to settle, so as to see the full impact. so as to place a palm gently to the wall for certainty. so as to have anew. so as to have a room of oneโ€™s own. so as to anticipate many more moons. ๐ŸŒธ
๐Ÿ˜ญโ™ฅ๏ธ๐ŸŒธ
This is my foot. More importantly, this is a wee @adorning.soul tattoo tucked behind my ankle bone. It is a blue flame on top of a kidney bean rock in the loose shape of a semi-colon. Itโ€™s about the way two independent clauses (one a triple fire sign, and one a triple earth sign ๐Ÿ˜‚) can exist in a single sentence because they give value and context to each other, despite being standalone entities. Anyway itโ€™s a dramatic but smol metaphor for @ayebbey & i. Wah! Sab said lower half placements are about grounding. I would like to be grounded in radical, life-giving friendships. Consider this an ode and a prayer?
of these wonderful people and the tenacity of their work. ๐ŸŒฑ
In my life where the broken lie broken there was a field of wildflowers in bloom.

#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 weโ€™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 โ€˜em highlights out at link in bio ๐Ÿ‘
#SOTD: ์ƒˆ์†Œ๋…„ - ๊ธด ๊ฟˆ / Se So Neon - A Long Dream ๐Ÿ’ซ - 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, โ€œ๊ธด ๊ฟˆโ€ also made everyone fall in love with So Yoonโ€™s husky voice.

#AlbumReview: ้ญๅฆ‚่ฑ - ๆœซ่ทฏ็‹‚่Šฑ / waa wei - Run! Frantic Flowers! โ€” At once playful, brooding, gentle and mildly creepy, waa weiโ€™s approach to her music has always been to slip out of easy categories.

@miraelxx

the only word that comes to my mind when i think of @nativeearthperformingarts is gratitude. iโ€™m grateful for all that iโ€™ve learned and gained from my time there, especially for their trust in me. i could only move forward and push myself because of their trust, and their care, generosity, and openness to share. i will never forget native earth and the people iโ€™ve met there, and of course, our neighbours at daniels and the community of regent park.
a very meaningful gift. feels like an incredible marker of my time at @nativeearthperformingarts. chi miigwetch, toronto council fire.
i think every year we say, this year flew by. so many things happened. it went by so fast. i canโ€™t believe itโ€™s almost over. ์ด์ฒœ์‹ญ๊ตฌ๋…„์˜ ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰ ํ•œ๋‹ฌ์ด ๋‚จ์•˜๋‹ค. ๋‚˜๋Š” ๋‚จ์€ ์‹œ๊ฐ„ ๋™์•ˆ ๋งŽ์€ ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์„ ๊ฐ€๋ฅด์ณ์ค€ ํšŒ์‚ฌ๋ฅผ ๋– ๋‚˜๊ณ  ์†Œ์ค‘ํ•œ ์นœ๊ตฌ๋“ค์ด๋ž‘ (์•„์‹œ์•„์—์„œ ๋งŒ๋‚˜! ๋ผ๋Š” ์•ฝ์†์„ ํ•˜๋ฉฐ) ์ธ์‚ฌ๋ฅผ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋‚˜๋ผ๋กœ ์ด์‚ฌ๊ฐ€๊ฒŒ ๋ ๊ฑฐ๊ณ  ๋‘๋‹ฌ ๋™์•ˆ ๋ชป ๋ณธ ๋‚จ์นœ์ด๋ž‘ ๋‹ค์‹œ ๊ฐ™์ด ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ๋ ๊ฑฐ๊ณ  ํ•œ๊ตญ ๋“ค๋ ค์„œ ๋ถ€๋ชจ๋‹˜์ด๋ž‘ ๋™์ƒ๋„ ๋ณด๊ฒŒ ๋ ๊ฑฐ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์‹ฑ๊ฐ€ํด์—์„œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋„์ „ ํ˜น์€ ์˜ค๋žซ๋งŒ์— ๋งŒ๋‚  ์‚ฌ๋ž‘ํ•˜๋Š” ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ผ์ฃผ์ผ๋™์•ˆ ํ•œ๊ตญ์—์„œ ๋„ˆ๋ฌด ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ์› ๋˜ ์Œ์‹๋“ค์„ ๋จน์„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒŒ ์ œ์ผ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€๋˜๋Š” ์ด ์†”์งํ•œ ๋งˆ์Œ์€ ๋ญ์ง€... - photo from early in november, when soon after, gihee and i had too much shrimp, cheese and fruit wine.
my past three novembers have been the festival. with the winter chill and darkness also creeping in, november has always been a perpetual fatigue as i tried to finish a school semester, work on other projects/workshops, or prep a move (my three years respectively). - despite my body in nonstop yawning, what kept me moving is the people. the staff that never forgets to check in and make jokes. the hundred artists from all over turtle island and australia who express excitement to develop their piece and work with other artists they may never have the chance to meet if not for the festival. an energy of exhilaration. - whatโ€™s so special about weesageechak is that as a development festival, the focus is always on people. even in marketing, iโ€™ve interacted with every single one of the artists. and when an artist comes up to me and says how much she appreciates the work iโ€™ve done, i feel gratitude for having the opportunity to be part of it all. - this yearโ€™s festival is my favourite. we had an eclectic mix of theatre, dance, multidisciplinary performances, acoustic and classical music, and a live podcast show. it feels like every year this festival gets stronger and more livelier. i will miss these novembers. - (3: my fav performance by sydney-based contemporary dancer, jasmin sheppard, ph. christie wong)
maybe iโ€™ve been too absorbed in โ€˜when camellia bloomsโ€™ and consuming too many k tv shows, but iโ€™ve been thinking about how i miss and find comfort in this countryโ€™s landscapes and how โ€˜์ • ๆƒ…โ€™ resonates in our interactions and seeps into the spaces we move. hereโ€™s a collection of photos i took during my visit last winter, when i learned that seoulโ€™s winter is as cold as torontoโ€™s autumn, feat. a pink balloon ๐ŸŽˆ the sight of hyundai blue trucks and the voice of my dadโ€™s car gps make me feel at home. - ์—ฌ๊ธฐ ์˜ค๊ธฐ ์ „ ์•„์ฃผ ์–ด๋ ธ์„ ๋•Œ ๋ง๊ณ  ์˜ค๋žœ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„์œผ๋กœ ์‚ด์•„ ๋ณธ ์ ์ด ์—†์ง€๋งŒ ์ด์ƒํ•˜๊ฒŒ๋„ ํ•œ๊ตญ ํ’๊ฒฝ์ด ๋”์šฑ ์นœ๊ทผํ•˜๊ณ  ํŽธ์•ˆํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋Š๊ปด์ง„๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์„œ ์ญ‰ ์ž๋ž์ง€๋งŒ ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋ถˆ๋งŒ์ด ์ฐธ ๋งŽ์€ ๊ฑฐ ๊ฐ™๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋งŒ์กฑ์Šค๋Ÿฝ๊ณ  ํ‰ํƒ„ํ•œ ๋งˆ์Œ์ด ์žˆ๋˜ ์ ์ด ๋ณ„๋กœ ์—†๋‹ค. ๋‚ด๊ฐ€ ๋„ˆ๋ฌด ํ•œ๊ตญ ๋Œ€์ค‘๋งค์ฒด๋งŒ ์ ‘ํ•˜๋‚˜...๊ทผ๋ฐ ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ ๊ด€์‹ฌ์ด ์—†์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉด ์ด๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ๊ธ€๋„ ๋ชป ์ผ์„ ํ…๋ฐ...

When I met up with @jaziimun on the summer of 2016 over bubble tea (of course), I had no idea what I was signing up for, let alone what community arts meant. Being overly awkward and presenting an overly enthusiastic persona on @projectx40c social media, I began to slowly open up as I met, talked, and listened to numerous artists, creators, creatives, art enthusiasts and supporters of all kinds. (More to come in two months.) - The space that @projectx40c has created has been incredibly important for me โ€” a community where I felt welcomed, and hopefully where many other folks also feel welcomed โ€” where they feel like their stories and art can be shared and heard. - We are in the second half of our final year โ€” the Inheritance Year. Recently the PC government cut arts funding, and like many folks, we have been left with no significant funding. We have many projects planned to end off our five year adventure and we need your support. - ๐ŸŒฑChoose a cute herb or spice (drawn with love by me), and be part of our exciting journey. Link in bio.
the arrival of the sweater weather means the time is nearing rather fast. itโ€™s been living inside me for awhile and iโ€™ve slowly been sharing to a close few. but with a little more than two months left, i guess i really need to tell myself itโ€™s happening. iโ€™m moving to singapore this december to pursue my masters and challenge a new life. iโ€™ve been wanting to escape and branch myself to asia. the stillness and familiarity i feel towards this city had begun to make me anxious. ์–ธ์ œ๋ถ€ํ„ด๊ฐ€ ์ด ๋„์‹œ์— ์•ˆ์ •๊ฐ์ด ์ƒ๊ธฐ๋ฉฐ ๋‹ต๋‹ตํ•ด์ง€๊ณ  ๋ถˆ์•ˆํ•ด์กŒ๋‹ค. ์•„์ง ์ Š์€๋ฐ ํ•˜๊ณ ์‹ถ์€๊ฒƒ๋„ ๋งŽ์€๋ฐ ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์— ๊ณ„์† ๋จธ๋ฌด๋ฅด๋ฉด ์–ด๋””์—๋„ ๋ชป ๊ฐˆ๊ฑฐ ๊ฐ™์€ ๋งˆ์Œ์ด ๋“ค์—ˆ๋‹ค. the process since getting accepted has been nerve-racking and heart trembling, and filled with lots of worrying. (my heart also flutters at the idea that my family who i have been an ocean away for seventeen years, will only be a day ride from toronto to vancouver.) i canโ€™t thank jasmine, abby, jing, justin and gihee enough, and will definitely be due much more gratitude once december comes. the sweater weather also means a hectic theatre festival season and actually having to accomplish the list of things to do. ๋‚ด๊ฐ€ ํ–ฅํ•˜๋Š” ๋ชฉํ‘œ๊ฐ€ ๋„ˆ๋ฌด๋‚˜๋„ ์„ค๋ ˆ๊ณ  ๋ฏฟ๊ธฐ์ง€๊ฐ€ ์•Š์•„์„œ ๋ฒŒ์จ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋ชจ๋“  ์˜์š•์ด ์‚ฌ๋ผ์ง€๊ณ  ๋‚˜์˜ ๋งˆ์Œ์€ ์—ฌ๊ธธ ๋– ๋‚˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜๋„ ํ›„ํšŒ์—†์ด ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—์„œ ๋‚จ์€ ๋ฐ”์œ ๋‘ ๋‹ฌ์„ ์—ด์‹ฌํžˆ ํ•ด๋‚ด์•ผ ๋œ๋‹ค๋Š” ๋งˆ์Œ ๊ฐ€์ง์œผ๋กœ ๋‹ฌ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค. - photo by abby from our trip to singapore last year, which was part of the catalyst to this decision.
