The second book in ECU Press’s Reflector series, TEMPER: one hundred brief missives within a character limit springs from an ongoing online project by Laiwan, in which the artist uses the constraints and possibilities of social media to deliver mini-manifestoes on liberation, doubt, activism, privilege, environmental degradation, protest, racism, and art. TEMPER chooses key moments from this stream of contemplation and provocation from 2019 to 2021 and re-presents them in print, accompanied by Bopha Chhay’s essay “Keeping Doom at the Edges.”
