[Unbound x CAO Collective] Behold, Be Held: Screening + Book Talk

​Join us for an intimate sharing of film, photography, and conversation with Laura (嘟嘟) and huiyin zhou, co-parents of CAO Collective.

​The afternoon program will feature a screening of Just Like Your Tenderness (10 min., 2026) — a single, unbroken long take observing a day of caregiving between Laura and their grandmother in hospice care. Tender, unhurried, and resistant to spectacle, the film attends to small gestures and shared breath as a form of communication across language, generation, and distance.

​Following the screening, huiyin will share their recent publication NOSTALGIA IS THE GHOST OF CARE 在未来怀念一片云彩 (Homie House Press / kawan pan, 2026) — a mixed-media photo book that holds nostalgia in the future tense, weaving together archival and newly created images in collaboration with BIPOC and queer friends.

​The event closes with an artist talk and conversation between the two, tracing the threads that connect their practices: diasporic memory, care labor, queer kinship, and the archive as a living thing. Open social time and book signing will follow.

​Doors Open: 2:45 pm

​Screening will start promptly at 3:15pm.
