Kameron Lai Reviews Suneeta Peres da Costa and Šime Knežević
While I am hesitant to pathologise the diasporic experience (it is indeed a site of joy!), the effects of displacement often feel proximate to malady. I am always cautious to frame diaspora in such ways – it would not be genuine of me to pretend as if it were always a joyful experience, or something that I have never felt ashamed about. And there is guilt in that shame. Suneeta Peres da Costa’s The Prodigal (2024) and Šime Knežević’s In Your Dreams (2025) stoke the fever in my heart that aches and involuntarily turns to ugly feelings, pleated over and over as I make sense of my place in relation to contemporary Australia and my ancestral homelands.

Other people like to tell us who we are and where we belong. Let’s split. Into pronominal debris. And make a virtue of indeterminacy. You — I. Cross-reference and advocate. Advocate for renewal, common ground and alter-egos. Our respective you …

I am a simple gesture to repeat, a flow. I am a phrase I never know when to say, for example, “la grapefruit.” I am a slideshow, I remember thanks, have a nice day, and that’s a good song, and …
