About the blog

This blog was started in 2013 as a journalism in-depth project dedicated to Chinese-Johannesburg. It focused on Chinese culture and community with special attention to art. It explored the integration between Chinese art and its influence on Johannesburg. The blog has since evolved – over a period of seven years – to include my works as a journalist and writer.
