I was interviewed on live TV about my creative and volunteer projects, particularly a meeting place I started called “Das Blaue Haus” (“The Blue House”).
If you’re confused about why all of this is happening, please refer to this post.

Summary of points discussed in the interview:
Why I started “Das Blaue Haus”
Community events that take place in Das Blaue Haus and why I find face-to-face encounters important for our democracy, in an increasingly digitised and polarised/privatised world
The fact that I LOVE Karaoke!!!
My life growing up in Hong Kong in a multicultural environment, German school etc.
Where I feel more at home, Hong Kong or Germany? Both!
How I went from living in Hong Kong, studying in the U.S. and then living in some small-ass town (basically) in Germany?! And what was it like adjusting?
The importance of having friends and a community around you <3 especially when you newly move to a place
Why I still draw by hand but then use digital tools
My watercolour piece “Hot Pot”, the inspiration behind it; the host got to pick his favourite image and this was the one.
