Issue #2 of GEN M was collated by Helen Yeung in collaboration with Alice Canton’s award-winning theatre show OTHER [chinese], a large-scale community engagement project which investigated the complexity of Chinese identity in contemporary Aotearoa, examining the everyday lives, rituals, historical events, and memories of Chinese people in diaspora. The Chinese title “移民一族,” roughly translated to “the people of migration,” was given to the zine as a reflection of the shared experiences between the contributions, reflecting emotions behind alienation, displacement and a longing for home.
