Yin & Young Podcast Episode 67 - Kelly Hebestreit - Art, Identity, and Please Take Off Your Shoes

April 29, 2023 in Society & Culture, Writing, Politics

In this episode we had the privilege to chat with Hong Kong-based artist Kelly Hebestreit! Kelly does creative, introspective work in photography, poetry, film, and many other mediums. Her work explores such things as local neighborhoods, cultural identity, and the heartbreak behind someone not taking off their shoes.

- Held an intimate art installation show, "Satellite," in 2021 and released a related zine.

- Reflections on life in America and an incident with her ex.

- Background: Grew up in HK, father is German, mother is Taiwanese

- Father is in the textile industry.

- Moved back to HK during the pandemic and can appreciate the city after living abroad.

- Enjoyed studying abroad in Tokyo, but mentions why she probably wouldn't live there long term.
