SUMMARY:Preserving Culture in the AI Age

SUMMARY:Searching for Billie
DESCRIPTION:Join us with journalist\, Ian Gill\, as he talks about his journey understanding his mother’s story! \nIan Gill identifies as a Eurasian journalist\, who’s main ambition is to “sleep eight hours uninterrupted\,” per his South China Morning Post freelancer bio.

He lived in the West for the first 30 years of his life\, and then visited Hong Kong in 1975 and has lived there ever since. This visit was the impetuous for his book\, Searching for Billie\, where he uncovers his mother’s story and his family history. \nAt this event\, Ian Gill will discuss his writing process\, his mother’s story\, and be available for book signings! \nRSVP with the following link.
