Guys, I know this is out of order and yet to come... but I can't sit on this.
I'd like to introduce you to Yongzheng, the 4th emperor of the Qing Dynasty, r. 1722-35. Generally thought of as a diligent ruler, with a martial bent.
But none of that matters right now, cuz guys...
Hi! I wrote a thing for @MuseumNext on courage + trust, aka why I took my dream job, why I left, and why Iโm now a coach. Hope you enjoy ๐ https://t.co/ex1MPG5lAU
Happy New Year from beautiful Kaurna Country! ๐
Four things Iโve learned in 2021:
๐ Every morning I wake up with air in my lungs is a gift
๐ Every moment I spend with loved ones is a miracle
๐ This moment is precious, never to be repeated
๐ This moment is all there is
Thank you, Ali Cobby Eckermann, for your art and your courage, and to everyone whose work plants the seeds for a better world.

#Thread: This weekend I attended a workshop at @agsa_adelaide called โPoetry: The Purpose of Voice.โ
The workshop leader was #AliCobbyEckermann, the first Aboriginal Australian poet to win the Wyndham-Campbell writing prize from @Yale.

Questions that will stay with me:
โWhat are your ancestors whispering to you? What are you passing on to your family six generations from now, your family who havenโt been born yet?โ #AliCobbyEckermann
Tickets are free for a year and apparently already booked out through November. If you are in Hong Kong, don't walk, RUN to this glorious museum, as expansive in its vision and its storytelling as it is in its architectural space. Bravo M+ team! @mplusmuseum โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
A HUGE smile on my facing watching a media walkthrough of the new @mplusmuseum livestreamed on Instagram by the brilliant and generous @IlariaMariaSala
Honoured to have been a part of @mplusmuseum in its foundational years, from 2015-2020, before my familyโs relocation to Australia. Canโt wait to see what my former colleagues do next, and to visit the M+ building and my beloved Hong Kong when the time is right.
Construction of the M+ museum building in Hong Kong is officially complete. Museum staff now occupy the building and begin preparing for a public opening in late 2021.
