In this first major monograph, Kha explores identity, family, and his hometown of Memphis. "Memphis has become, for me, not only the place where I was raised but an active borderland between fantasy and memory, nostalgia and history, nonfiction and mythology,” Kha states. Memphis is where his mother and her extended family settled after fleeing Vietnam. His mother is a recurring character in this work, through portraits and as a “collaborative muse.”

Between family gatherings (whether they be fun or a chore) and at the end of a tumultuous year in the United States, come hang out and discuss themes of reconstructed family histories and home, how the experiences of those who raised us are reflected in our own identity, and how the stories of immigration shape what America is and will always be.

Purchasing the book is not required, we will have copies on hand for people to look through. Feel free to bring drinks and snacks!
