About the Book

Edit

This issue, themed in deep reflection and natural imagery, takes the visceral impulses of creation and translates them into art. Our editor-in-chief, Jiaqi Kang, interviewed founding member of the 1970s activist Stars Art Group and currently British-based artist Qu Leilei about his relationship, past and present, with art as political and self-expression. Art director Elisabeth Siegel conversed with Junzi Kitchen founder Chef Lucas Sin on modern Chinese American cuisine and the balance between tradition and possibility wrapped up in a bite of northern Chinese-styled delicacies.



"MUD 泥“ features poetry, prose, installations, photography, cinematography, and visual art from Sino diasporic artists worldwide; including a self-produced theatrical show about imposed expectations by Kimberly Huang, a short story centering a dim sum trolley girl's journey towards self-actualization by Claire Cao, and an installation capturing the lifelike essence of clay and form by Lux Habrich. **SHIPPING NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE.**
