Night with @babyxsosa
13
I taught my last class at @nyushanghai this month! I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be an educator today and I've concluded that there is no comparable feeling to mentoring young people, while witnessing them figure out who they are. It's a process that reflects who you are back to you, what you believe in and why the future matters to you. I believe the community of students, colleagues, and intellectuals I've had the chance to learn from is like no other in the world - an American university in China is rare to come by, especially in times of geopolitical fragility, and it creates a unique space that welcomes contradictions and holds many truths at once. My colleagues at @interactivemediaarts are some of the most dedicated individuals I have ever met who stay up all night with students to build mind-blowing machines, who consistently play and nurture and question in ways that have deeply changed me. It's strange, but my time in Shanghai was maybe the first time my identity made sense to me and also the first time I have felt prepared to live back in France, the place where I grew up and also avoided most of my adult life. As I return to Paris, I'll carry all this preciously with me, a reminder that the most meaningful education happens with those who show you who you're becoming.
