ABOUT THE BOOK
Featuring rare archival images from New Wave artists, community members, fans, and record labels, the book is a much-needed record of photographs and ephemera that were nearly lost to time. Ai worked with the community to unearth materials that had been hidden away in shoeboxes, scrapbooks, and family archives, and brought them to light in this gorgeous book that is also a visual treasury, a community archive, and an act of historic preservation. New Wave pulls these elements together in a bold, innovative design and layout by Mỹ Linh Triệu Nguyễn, an award-winning, second-generation Chinese Vietnamese American designer who is the founder and creative director of STUDIO LHOOQ.
