RML3 Undercurrents and Folds, the third series of small-edition artist publications in the project, Reading the Migration Library (RML), is hosted by artists Deanne Achong and Lois Klassen. This 2024 series brings together the work of six additional artists (Leah Decter, Peter Morin, Sarah Shamash, Candie Tanaka, Tania Willard and Clare Yow) each with diverse perspectives on migration, diaspora, and travel on Indigenous territory. RML is a publication and event project that aims to circulate publications by artists on the topic of migration. It was initiated by Vancouver-based artist Lois Klassen, the founder of Light Factory Publications. Klassen is a writer and researcher at the Critical Media Art Studio (SFU). Deanne Achong works across disciplines, including digital and lens-based projects, installation and public art. Her practice draws from an examination of history, literature, digital culture, and daily life, exploring concepts of time, narrative, and archival "fictions".
