This week on Women on the Line we are covering the recent abrupt cancellation of The Asian American Literature Festival in Washington DC on Turtle Island. We spoke with Liminal Founder and Editor, Leah Jing McIntosh as well as writer Hasib Hourani, who are currently over on Turtle Island and who were expected to attend the festival alongside 8 Asian-Australian and Aotearoa-based writers. You can learn more about the campaign to hold the Smithsonian accountable to the Asian-American literature community by following the Asian American Literature Collective on instagram.
