Long abstractA Chinese painter who called himself Kafka comes out to me in an art village in Shenzhen. It’s a pained coming out — full of loss and hesitation. I write him a letter, an exercise in reflecting on the forms of redaction that take place as a queer in queer-unfriendly spaces, and those that take place as part of the ethnographic practice.
