The book, with photos and poems by the artist, is a collection of four generations of Cuban Chinese portraits made between 2009-2019. Many of the subjects are mixed-race, not able to speak much Chinese, but still hold their ancestors in their hearts.
Born in British Hong Kong in 1950, Pok Chi Lau has spent decades documenting the Chinese Diaspora and global migration, capturing stories far more plentiful than the fish he intended to catch. A Professor Emeritus of PhotoMedia at the University of Kansas, Lau’s work spans photography, poetry, and essays, blending art and social commentary that has been exhibited, published, and celebrated internationally.
