About
Join these writers as they discuss ways in which they interrogate dominant narratives in queer representation and use fiction to explore societal expectations and assumptions about gender and sexuality in SEA.
This programme is co-presented with the Singapore Book Council.
Speakers
Quinton Li is a Melbourne-based non-binary novelist, poet, fiction editor and anthology curator. With a love for fortune-telling, angelic beings and the human condition, it's no wonder that many of their works across fiction and poetry touch on these subjects. Alongside these themes, they strongly resonate with queer and Asian diaspora works and believe that art can change a perspective or enhance it.
