THE IMPOSSIBLE: “In fantasy, art and music, everything and anything is possible. We need stories about the impossible, because before things were possible, they often seem impossible. But it gets more interesting. Strange though it may seem - fantasy is a reflection, a response to the “real” world. Monsters in movies could be seen as society scapegoats and outsiders.
While living in oppressed circumstances, writers like Kafka and film-makers like Jan Svankmajer explored the unconscious in seemingly ridiculous and impossible stories. Fantasy is not just escape, it can be a coded communication of survival.” (October, 2020)

“Waiting for the moment when I feel brave enough to tell my non-Asian friends that Sailor Moon gifs really irritate me. I mean, they idealise thin-ness and how white supremacist is the blonde character. Imagine being a short, wide, Asian femme and being sort of excited to be represented but also not really at all.”
“I found glimpses of me in you.”
