IN A NEW LIGHT

Historically, Asian culture has been misrepresented or marginalised in Western science fiction, resorting to stereotypes and misappropriation.

The artists in this chapter invite critical reflection on the impact of such outdated cultural clichés, proposing alternative, more authentic representations of Asian voices.
