What happens when the personal and the political collide on the page?

Politics in the Storyline brings authors Devi S. Laskar and Lakshmi Puri, moderated by Aarti Johri, together for a conversation on how fiction can illuminate the forces shaping our lives — from race, identity and belonging to freedom, gender and social change.

📚 Join us at SALA 2026 for a conversation on the stories behind the politics, and the politics within our stories.

I am embarrassingly late posting these pics from my fabulous time at the Festival of AAPI Books in Long Beach this July @fablongbeach I was honored to speak on the Adult Authors panel with amazing @mononoke97 @jasminiolani @devislaskar! Our moderator @docbeevee asked us such deep and thought provoking questions, I hope the attendees appreciated our discussion as much as I did. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate AAPI books and authors!

*Voyager* is produced by Yidam.

The piece unfolds as a long-form passage through voice, atmosphere and distance. It is music that does not rush toward a destination, but changes the space around the listener.

The visual world is now being shaped around that movement.

First look coming soon.
