Project
My project aims to explore how East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) feminist communities utilize zine-making workshops as collective therapeutic sessions to foster solidarity, cultivate gender and race awareness, and develop strategies to combat racism and sexism in the context of Brexit and Covid-19. It focuses on examining the interrelationships between feminists residing in the global north (originating from the global south) and their cultural and creative practices.
