Perspectives:Asia | Laughing through the tears: The story of journalist Cheng Lei

Journalist Cheng Lei shares her remarkable journey of facing the unimaginable - losing her freedom, career, and sense of certainty - yet finding ways to endure through the solace of books, the warmth of unexpected friendships, and the nostalgia of daggy '80s tunes. In this candid and deeply human account, she reflects on the challenges of navigating the push and pull of being Asian Australian, offering an intimate portrait of resilience, humour, and identity.

Perspectives Asia | The Asia Pacific Triennial: Looking back, looking forward

Now in its 11th outing and fourth decade, this event reflects on its evolution and future.
