Faithe Yang, an artist from London, explores themes of queer intimacy and cultural exchange through her work in photography and curation. Her exhibition, When the Monsoon Turns East, featured Lü Jiaji's artwork derived from archival images of Northeastern China, with Siberian winds symbolizing history and identity. Additionally, The Art of Giving, a charity initiative in collaboration with THE T!NY ISSE, Give Endlessly, and Simmos Coffee, showcased how migration influences cuisine, reflecting Caribbean, Indian, and South Asian flavors in British food.
