Each one of us has a story to tell about our home.
But the way we connect with readers at home and abroad varies drastically. For those with whom we share a home, we're an array of cultural symbols and the ringing hammer of nostalgia. But for those who know little or nothing about our homes, we must adopt new ways of storytelling and step beyond the confines of our comfort zones.
Join us as Jason Li shares his trials and tribulations in telling Asian stories on the international stage, drawing upon his experience in writing and publishing graphic novels from Hong Kong and China. He will highlight the importance of reclaiming the stories of our homes, featuring examples from his own graphic memoir and from his role as an editor at an independent publishing house.
12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
