S P A C E | HCMC, 'Thoải Mái'

A fun and idea-dense collaboration in the cloud, this issue. 

S P A C E | Ho Chi Minh City, 'Thoải Mái'. 'Thoải Mái' means 'comfortable.' After 11 months in Vietnam without any real reason to be other than to wait out for an indefinite period of time a global pandemic, DK is curating, collating, conversing and discovering. Albeit differently from the pre-pandemic days, in method, the idea is still the same. To gather and connect new and different others, in S P A C E for remarkable *moments*.

A year in Vietnam... mostly waiting

A cool interpretive take on one of DK's poems is part of this issue, too. It's by our collaborator in S P A C E, DS Phong. Also included is the original poem, 'Portrait,' by Dipika Kohli. Further, you'll find a couple of surprising 'stories' which are curated snippets sourced from translation examples on an online site that does that. The stories are about homesickness. 

Inside stories are both curated by A. Spaice. The first is, 'A year away and now I miss home', and there is also one called, 'Listening is really an art'.
