Still invested in rethinking the existing hierarchies of creative labour and the value of work, the second issue of The Precariat Self Help Handbook builds on the lessons learnt a year on from the 1st issue. Reflecting on our experience as both precariats and students, the handbook includes important and slightly more grown up lessons on who and where to go to help, how to navigate sticky situations such as money (don’t we all love talking about money..), the Hostile Environment and includes strategies on self organising.
This issue includes writing and resources from Pin Han Tan (mole.co), Protest Press, Migrants in Culture, Catherine Tang, Laura Gordon, Alissa Metnik, Rebecca Toh, Pixie Tan and Nicole Jesse. It also features beautiful illustrations by Lee Wan Xiang and Lizzie Heath. Comes with a tear-away postcard to share your inner most fears with a friend.

Guftgu looks to initiate conversations within practice and context. Emerging out of dialogues with practitioners when our world seemed restrained physically, the works incorporated in this curation expand on the processes behind a growing visual language within South Asia and the South Asian diaspora.
Constructed as a curated collection by Offset Projects, each of the zines included in this edition have been put together keeping in consideration the intent and motivations behind the subject of the work.

In negotiating the complexities of his identity and its relationship to land, migration and gender, artist Soyeohang Rai travels to Nepal, the land of his ancestors, and is confronted by the rigidities of masculinity he is expected to conform to. This defining moment unravels an unanticipated journey to claim his own relationship with the mountainous terrain of the land, gaining strength from the ritualistic performance of maruni ( a dance form practiced by tribes of the Himalayan Belt and Nepali diaspora), opening himself to the feminine within through emotional and physical transformations and empowering the moment in the act of adornment. The maruni emerges and settles within Rai, demanding attention like the red hibiscus of his village and home. The deep colours of the flower remain the most desirable part of the plant, leaving the lush foliage of its bush often forgotten. As is the relationship of the arrival and departure of this flower, so shall the maruni continue to live within him and depart. Only to return again and offer in its warmth inheritance, autonomy and resilience to his being.
“After being impolitely denied to my ancestral land, I felt there was no longer a need to be granted access to a gift that was never taken from me.”
Sisnu Pani is a term often used by Nepalese people to connote to punishing the most miscreant with the stinging nettle (sisnu), an undesirable plant, whipped all over their naked body.
Some images involve nudity.

Searching for Poon traces the journey of my grandmother, who is struggling with memory loss. I use her photographs and juxtapose them with my own, searching and reconstructing her journey from mainland China to Hong Kong.
A sheet of paper is folded into a book, creating the possibility for thousands of associations to be made. The book mirrors my perspective alongside hers, interwoven with motifs that echo on both ends. This nonlinear act of reading becomes an exploration of memory, akin to how one recalls the past. Photography, once a purveyor of objective reality, transforms into an exercise in imagining.
About Justin Hui
Trained in architecture, Justin reconstructs spaces and events from memory, archives, and imagination. These works explore how form shapes our understanding of history, experience, and identity.
Currently, he’s working on Searching for Poon, a project that reconstructs the fading memories of his grandmother. Other projects include documenting histories surrounding a disappeared hill in Hong Kong during the late Song Dynasty, and a self-fiction centered around sightings of unidentified flying objects in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1997.
Past projects include New Territories, which challenges colonial narratives and notions of boundary through the changing landscapes of Northern Hong Kong; Urban Africa, Made in China documents Chinese development across Africa and explores its influence on the continent’s urban future; Black Mountain, Red Earth chronicles the collapse of mining towns and the emergence of the multinational mining industry in the Zambian Copperbelt.
