This past weekend, two images from La vie is like that were on view in the museum’s Project Space. Seaton Street Press presented a selection of its projects examining the intersections of site, language, and memory, reflecting on familial and constructed archives, migration stories, and geographies. From Justin Hui's Searching for Poon, reconstructing his grandmother's memory and journey from mainland China to Hong Kong, Diana Guerra's Fleeting Under Light, on border crossings and new understandings of family and homelands in Latiné communities, and my book, La vie is like that, exploring language acquisition, migration, love, grief, family, identity, and aphasia, to Tyler Rico's Convergence and Excavation, disparate moments and timelines embedded in places and objects, Matt Neff's Sometimes, on vernacular photography and time as a feeling, and Lindsay Buchman's Stratagems (an overture), reflecting on transracial adoption and how place shapes who we become.
