“Palimpsestic and textured, Joshua Gen Solondz’s We don’t talk like we used to is the result of six years of inward and outward reflection. Here the epoch-defining moments of a life (marriage, fatherhood) churn alongside similar reorientations— or disorientations—on the scale of the geopolitical, namely the nevermore of a forever-altered Hong Kong. While unblinkered in its assessment of our most severe global woes, Solondz’s work suggests more than any sort of a before-and-after comparison, instead offering a liberatory space for connection and coexistence: between cultures, images, generations and individuals.” (Jesse Cumming)
