about

The zine includes pieces of art and literature by Dear Asian Youth’s Literature Department and their audience. The theme “Let The Light In” highlights the importance of finding space to navigate complex feelings in wake of racist and discriminatory acts. In spite of encroaching darkness, we seek to let the light of radical joy in.
