“The most exciting writing on migrant identity that I’ve found has come from Auckland, in the format of self-published zines such as Mellow Yellow and the Migrant Zine Collective. These zines don’t have to water down their content for a predominantly Pākehā writing community, but they are also ephemeral, and lack the distribution and publicity networks of publishing companies.”

“For a brief moment, this was our safe space to hold discomfort and explore racism and resistance through kōrero, kai and zine-making. Such moments of pause, reflection and cross-cultural conversations are invaluable and much needed right now.”
