get back the time he lost with his grandmother when he was a child — something she was never able to do with her lost family.

“Through family conversations, home movies, still-lifes, and portraiture, Mackie Mallison’s It Smells Like Springtime explores the
complexity of Asian-American identity and experience in dialogue with the artist and jeweler Ada Chen and a riotous cadre of kids.
Together, they grapple with their ties to their family’s homelands, the paradoxes of representation, and their sense of belonging.”
