Our Skin, This Land | Daniel Yesin Kim

In this first issue, we reflect on the stories of the Asian diaspora in America while focusing on aspects of culture and race that shape our identity.

ORDER ZINE

Our Skin, This Land aims to explore the often arduous and ambiguous voyage of immigrants in America. I wanted to reflect on the ideas of home, identity, and cultural disassociation through the lens of our memories.

It is an observation on the contradictions, harmonies, and paradoxes of our skin to the American land, while also showcasing the creative works of those who wrestle through their intricate immigrant identities.

Though imperfect in its ambition, I hope that the stories and images in Our Skin, This Land evoke within us moments of introspection and contemplation on who we are as a community of ever seeking, ever hoping souls.

Can I pay for the zine directly to you instead of through the website?

If you have my personal contact information, feel free to message me! Alternatively, you can simply order through the link above.

Zine should arrive in approximately 2-3 weeks after placing the order (depending on demand). If you don't receive it after a month or have other issues with your order, please email contact@ourskinthisland.com with your order number.

What should I do if I have questions or comments regarding the zine, or want to share my own story?
