In this session, Zhuang begins with his two projects – Chinese Muslims in Indonesia (2007-09) and Chinese in the Small Towns and Rural Areas of Southeast Asia (2010-ongoing). He uses the created images to unpack and intersect ‘Chinese-ness’ with religion, place and class. He also attempts to connect the photo projects with his interest as a writer researching about the praxis of photography across the region.
