Figures of Lore | 

Medea, in Greek mythology, an enchantress who helped Jason, leader of the Argonauts, to obtain the Golden Fleece from her father, King Aeëtes of Colchis. She was of divine descent and had the gift of prophecy. She married Jason and used her magic powers and advice to help him. In one version, when they fled and were pursued by Aeëtes, Jason, in conspiracy with Medea, cut her brother Apsyrtus to pieces and threw him into the sea to delay the pursuit.

The Medea of Euripides takes up the story at a later stage, after Jason and Medea had fled Colchis with the fleece and had been driven out of Iolcos because of the vengeance taken by Medea on King Pelias of Iolcos (who had sent Jason to fetch the fleece). The play is set during the time that the pair lived in Corinth, when Jason deserted Medea for the daughter of King Creon of Corinth; in revenge, Medea murdered Creon, his daughter, and her own two sons by Jason and took refuge with King Aegeus of Athens, having escaped from Corinth in a cart drawn by dragons sent by her grandfather Helios. After fleeing Corinth, Medea became the wife of Aegeus, who later drove her away after her unsuccessful attempt to poison his son Theseus. The Greek historian Herodotus related that from Athens Medea went to the region of Asia subsequently called Media, whose inhabitants thereupon changed their name to Medes.

TO ALL ASIAN CREATIVES—post-election day america has not been kind to our communities. post-inauguration day america will only amplify that sentiment.

reflect: what did you do to contribute to a trump america? 

react: what will you do to rectify it?

REALIZE : when we voted in trump, we voted in violence against countless communities, including many of our own. when we voted in trump, we voted in normalized hatred of those aforementioned communities. when we voted in trump, we voted for white supremacy for the sake of proximity to whiteness. asian communities must not only practice artistry, but also accountability.

NOW is the time for asian creatives to rally. NOW is the time for action. join Azian Zine in a creative (+ physical, for those who are able) protest against a trump administration. to all asians, especially asian-americans who are struggling to come to terms with what a trump presidency means to you, we are desperately in need of your voices.

2017 Awesomely Asian YA Books

As all book lovers who thrive on social media or anywhere on the internet, there’s always new books to look forward to, whether they’re a few weeks away, or even a year. While there are dozens of exciting new books to look forward to in the coming year of 2017, I wanted to feature the following books that should be on your radar when it comes to Asian YA. 

Note: This list chooses to focus on books that both feature Asian MCs and Asian authors, whether they’re #ownvoices or not, although the majority of the books listed here are #ownvoices. Those that are not #ownvoices or I am unsure about have been indicated with an asterisk. I tried to make it as comprehensive as possible, and if any titles are missing that fit the above qualifications or I made any errors, please let me know as soon as possible!
