Meet our MIK Creative, @kaedejt.

For Kaede James Takamoto, photography is less about capturing a moment and more about building a feeling around it. A Queer Japanese-Australian photographer, her images intertwine the real and the surreal – shaped by collaboration, instinct and an interest in the layered nature of identity.

Living and working in Naarm (Melbourne), Kaede’s practice spans fashion, portraiture and conceptual image-making. Raised by two sculptors, she grew up surrounded by art and experimentation, a legacy that continues to inform her work today.

To read more about Kaede and the work she does, head to our bio link. 🤎

My third album “The Bridal Lament 哭嫁歌” is finally out today! Many years in the making, many threads interwoven, many tears were shed. I’m so proud of this record. In a time of erasure, remembrance is more important than ever.

Out now on vinyl and digital via @music.in.exile 🎉🎉🎉

Written, produced, performed and recorded by Rainbow Chan

When we asked our Creative Directory what change they most wanted to see in the Australian media and creative industries, their answers came through loud and clear. These are just some of the responses. 👊🏾👊🏾

“There is a particular comfort that comes from being in a space where you don’t have to explain yourself before introducing yourself.

Nobody was performing. Nobody was code-switching. Nobody was trying to convince anyone they belonged. They already knew they did.”

Written by our founder @paulinemorrissey, our latest Diaspora Diary reflects on our event, Meet MADE IN KIN In The Lobby, where almost 100 people of colour gathered at @ellisonstudios for an evening of community, creativity and conversation.
