These days I mostly π· in New York, and hope we can travel back to the 50+ places we work with in mainland China & Hong Kong soon. 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.
