Xyla

SATURDAY 27 & SUNDAY 28 JULY

“My name is Xyla, when I gave myself a name, I wanted it to start with X, not only because it was related to my Chinese name's last character, but also as the shape of X means intersections and infinite extensions. The letters x and y are also often used in coordinate axes. I love my name and its meaning.

My zines are about my personal experiences, the empathy I feel as I explore the world and my growth as a woman. I have been in NZ more than a year and I have changed my lifestyle so I probably have moved about 16 houses here. As the first profile I wrote, I wanted to feel the power of different lifestyles and I am glad I did it and I am doing it. I see, I feel, then I do.”
