These days I mostly go between New York, and the 50+ places we work with in mainland China & Hong Kong.
I have mixed feelings about twitter and instagram, but I'm always happy to mentor justice-oriented nice people with projects for the public good ~ the best way to get in touch if you want to work together is to email sk.kira {at} gmail.
