Panel Gallery: (En)Visioning Violence
Monica joins a panel of writers to discuss making art in this political moment. With Quan Tran and Nay Saysourinho, moderated by Na-Rae Kim.

Many say that the pandemic made visible anti-Asian violence. But what does anti-Asian violence look like in the past and present? How have writers engaged various forms of violence? And what are some of the violences that the writers face for how they are seen or what they create?

Three Asian American writers discuss how they see violence and art, and how they see writing in a time of violence. What does it mean that they are seen as Asian American writers in our time? How do you write, and not write, as an Asian American, especially at this moment?
