nostalgia is the ghost of care 在未来怀念一片云彩 by huiyin zhou 徽音 (Homie House Press/kawan pan, June 2026) is a mixed-media artist book weaving film and polaroid photography, handwriting, poetry, collage, and ephemera. Drawing from the artist’s daily encounters in BIPOC and/or Queer communities, this project explores photo archiving as an active form of grief and care work.
