Interloper joins former resident artist of the seattle residency project, Va’eomatoka Valu—an artist, community organizer, and father who moved to the Pacific Northwest from the Kingdom of Tonga when he was a teenager. We talk about how the changing smells of landscape affect the creation of art and memory, why the label AAPI can create unintended consequences while forging beautiful relationships, and what the differences are between Tonga and the Pacific Northwest and their relationship to land, water and ownership.
