Kamipaper, Hong Kong (2026)

18/04/2026

Hong Kong 香港 my second home, making memories with loved ones and exploring new areas of Kowloon~even though its sad to see long standing villages disappear along with some old style cha chaang tengs & shops 😢 thankful that I could visit Cha Kwo Ling Village one more time before it fully disappears and Kowloon City (which has a big Thai community) before it changes even more rapidly, where I saw the gov took back a whole block of tenement buildings which they will redevelop and build new high rises 🫣 missing all my HK friends 🫶🏼

Thanking for being a gentle and considerate interviewer, when he asked to interview me, I'll admit I was confused as to why he would want to... 😅 he was soooo kind to translate the article into English for me to read and through his words I could feel how sincere he was and seeing my work through his eyes made me think about my work in a meaningful way that I had never noticed. Thanks for boosting my energy to keep doing my upcycle bookbinding with as much thought and sincerity as your words and I'll keep trying to introduce people to rethink about throwing away anything and turning things into creative creations.

感謝 💚♻️

: 讓物料活着、讓祝福延續 Anh Tran的升級再造印藝術

時值正月十三，先向各位讀者拜個晚年，祝新歲安好。到今天，年初的熱鬧稍稍沉澱，但節日的餘溫仍在屋內流轉——我們桌上與抽屜裏，往往留下各式各樣的節日物件：用過的利市封、糖果包裝紙、賀年卡……對大多數人而言，這些紙本物件的去向，並不難想像：垃圾桶、回收箱，或被壓在抽屜底部，直至某次大掃除。然而，它們並非全無用處，只是在這一時刻，暫時完成了自己的任務。或許它們所等待的，只是一點時間與一雙巧手，以及被重新折疊、穿線、拼接的契機。

近年，隨着環保意識逐漸普及，upcycling（升級再造）的概念亦慢慢走進日常語彙之中。與其單純回收再製，把物料降級為原料重新處理，upcycling更着重在保留物件既有形態與質感，透過重新組合與轉化，讓它們在新的情境中延續生命。近年相關的手工實踐愈見普遍，尤其在紡織領域，舊衣改造、布料拼接成為一門藝術潮流。然而，印刷藝術的upcycling實踐仍屬少見。這次介紹的藝術家Anh Tran（），其裝訂實踐正是從一些「剩餘物」開始。利市封的金邊、糖紙的反光表面、舊年曆的厚紙板，甚至印刷廠裁切後的碎紙，都可能在她手中重新組合，成為一本本小書的封面、書脊，或編織而成的書布。

🪡Threading Solidarity with Heritage Craft: Nokshi Katha Collective Quilt🧵

Last Autumn I joined a 10 week community embroidery circle led by at .margarets.house, where we learnt Nokshi Katha - a Bangladeshi meditative embroidery handicraft practiced by women, where they stitch their lived experiences and stories onto upcycled cloths and saris, creating elaborate and brightly coloured embroidered pieces.

During our workshops we all created an embroidered panel each on the theme of solidarity and activism, and was encouraged to also add in our cultures/languages onto the pieces. Meeting every Friday, we created a safe space where we could be vulnerable, share stories, encourage each other and help each other out with the different types of stitches and singing birthday songs together. I feel fortunate to have met these supportive and lovely people. So a big ❤️ shoutout to: .h.inkpen Kayleigh, Jay, Anwara, Jenny, Vera, Solgang, Lamis & Sarah 🌸

My panel simply says:
No to walls, no to borders, plants won't follow law & order. 破圍牆, 無國界, 植物不需法與治.

Thanks to .h.inkpen for helping me with the Chinese translation.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, our collective quilt will be showcased at St Margaret's House this weekend alongside other pieces that we have also created outside of our embroidery circle.

📆 Fri 6th March - Sun 8th March 2026 (Free entry)
📍The Chapel at St Margaret’s House, 21 Old Ford Road, London E2 9PL
🕦 Opening night Fri 6th March: 6-8pm
Sat 7th-Sun 8th March: 10am-5pm

Please note, the opening event on Friday 6th March, 6-8pm will take place during Ramadan, so there will be space to break fast and share food together for those observing Iftar. Food will be provided.

Finally, thanks to for showcasing our collective quilt in their space in February 📸 1-3

I was also part of a series of workshops for the Library of Ancestral Knowledge that was about gathering and creating resources and legacies rooted in care, celebration and connection within the local ESEA community via scent, herbal remedies, gardening and weaving lead by ESEA creatives .thuy & Mai Anh Ly.

We created art from our diasporic memories which was showcased in the studio at Museum of the Home. Much love to and team for creating a safe and warm space for us to share our stories and memories within the workshops ❤️🫶🏼❤️

New stock available at the East & South East Asian (ESEA) shop at !

With these sweet wrappers weaved ledger notebooks, I've upcycled ESEA sweet wrappers such as Hi Chews, White Rabbits, Ginseng Ginger & Lai See candy - giving them a 2nd life as weavings on these handmade notebooks as it feels a waste to throw away nice packaging.

These upcycled babies are now available at the ESEA shop at a wonderful ESEA cafe and community event space in Islington, North London. The ESEA shop has a good wide range of gifts & goods by ESEA creatives so please go have a beverage and check out the shop. I've even picked up homemade jams by 😋🫶🏼

But I'll be celebrating the new fire horse year by tabling at the Lunar New Year Celebrations at the ESEA market on Sun 22nd Feb at , alongside other ESEA creatives and blowing water with mates .h.inkpen .sketches please do come along and say hi, check out our stalls, workshops and welcome in the new year with us 🔥🐴

Thank you to everyone who visited & supported kamipaper during the festive markets season at and for helping me raise money for my Gazan friend who is currently in a bad situation with the non stop rainy Winter season. He is battling with rain leaking through many holes in his family tent, freezing temperatures and just trying to survive 🙏🏼

I've also donated a % of the Visit Palestine Exhibition zines by .palestine_project to and 80% of the profits from the SKoaM leftover notebooks to a day centre for the homeless & vulnerable in Clapham, South London.

Hugely grateful to everyone who supported and help me to raise money for Gaza and Ace of Clubs, as well as supported my zines and upcycled creations. Happy to have made new friendships through meaningful projects and had lovely chats with people I've encountered at markets & zine fairs.

If you have the means, please consider donating to the people mentioned here or to the many other families/people who are in need of help.

Wishing everyone warmth and good health and see you in the 2026 year of the Fire Horse 🌱🔥
