Common Ground
Community Kitchen, Australia House
Vivianne Zhang Wei, the author of popular Substack blog 'Chinese Farm Chronicles' describes herself as a chronicler of the countryside, documenting rural China through her camera during a gap year.
When she came to ANKEN with the “Common Ground” project, our Community Kitchen received the first echo of the harvest season. And so, on a weekend in early September, the first, serendipitous “Common Ground” came to life.
