'KUA (crossing-beyond) is a project initiated by curator Yu'an Huang and born out of the need to connect with transnational minds. The cross-medium publication will investigate six topics around the human condition by working with collaborators with cross-culture backgrounds to reimagine, elevate and bring methods towards a hybrid future.

The first issue – realised during Yu’an’s Asymmetry Art Foundation fellowship at Chisenhale and whilst in-residence at Delfina Foundation – is titled Re-Integration and explores the feeling of estrangement individuals may endure from returning to a first-culture after a long period of absence.

In response to the shifting migration policies in the last decade, KUA starts out from the personal and social psychological and asks: among those who are removed and the ones who are left behind, are there many of us missing the version of ourselves we can no longer access? What happens when the process of re-integration fails?

KUA combs through such thoughts via a cross-medium approach. The part physical and part digital publication contains existing and commissioned works including from: artist Doug Aitken; professor in Globalisation & Development Dr Valentina Mazzucato; and oral interviews of re-integration life stories.' - Excerpted from the website of Delfina Foundation

Contributors include Doug Aitken, Alberto Bougleux, Dr Valentina Mazzucato, Hana K. Ohnewher, Joshua Yang, Kengwu Yerlikaya, and Xenoangel.
