Ep.41 | Artist and curator Kobe Ko spoke about her experience in Taiwan and her perspective on the current state of Hong Kong. We continued the dialogue with her The Post Human Narrative project, the challenge of our current marriage system, and we completed the conversion with what Kobe is planning for next year.
