THE CHOW is a Hong Kong-based publication celebrating in-real-life and independent culture, written by Patrick Kho. I publish feature stories of communities and interviews with creatives, 2-3x a month, connecting cultural work to larger discourse and trends in the arts, in urban life, and in the economy. To get a sense of THE CHOW’s coverage, read a few of my past works:

• Let the Party be Reborn

• Even in Our Streaming Age, James Acey Won’t Stop Curating Sound

• Nathan Leong’s Music Lays it Bare

• Allow Sam’s Tailor to Reintroduce Himself

• Photographer Gab Mejia Shot the World. Now, He Envisions a New One (Rolling Stone Philippines)

• The church of Roblox: How young Filipino Catholics are building more inclusive spaces (Rest of World)
