Episode four of our new podcast features a conversation recorded at In Other Words in 2021, OzAsia Festival’s writing and ideas program.
Expressions like ‘Asian invasion’ and ‘yellow peril’ are all too familiar to anyone living in Australia, especially in the wake of COVID-19. We come together to talk about the experience of living in Australia today with founding director of Sweatshop Literacy Movement and Arab Australian author Michael Mohammed Ahmad; Chinese American Australian fiction writer, researcher and teacher Paige Clark; and Thai Australian theatre artist Anchuli Felicia King.
