POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It’s ESEA Lit Fest day 📚 Here’s your morning recap!

We started the day with On crossing continents and generations, with Carla Montemayor and Natalie Gregory, chaired by Suyin Haynes, before Catherine Cho and Stephanie Sy-Quia joined Joanna Lee for On rules and devotion.

It’s been a reflective morning, bringing us closer to the minds behind expansive stories of family, memory, identity and inheritance. From the messages authors carry with them as they write, to the rules we inherit and choose to break, both conversations opened up further through thoughtful questions from the audience.

Here are a few moments from the morning 💭

More to come this afternoon 📖

MORE BIG NEWS! I couldn’t be more excited that THE PAST SELVES CLUB has sold at auction to @juniperbooks with the brilliant @joannaleebooks editing for publication in the UK, and not just because this might mean my in-laws finally will think I’m legit. (KIDDING! Mammaji and Pappaji, you know I’m legit, right?) EEEEEP can’t wait to see THE PAST SELVES CLUB at all of my favorite London bookstores and to work with the glorious Juniper team!

✨ 💐Happy International Women’s Day!

To celebrate, we wanted to highlight the incredible women within the Bagri Foundation network, including the artists we have championed, the partners we have supported, and the team and trustees working behind the scenes across everything we do.

As a charity, this year’s theme, Give to Gain, has prompted us to reflect on the heart of everything we do. What is it we truly gain when we give holistically, from funding and mentorship to time and advocacy?

We asked our team and trustees what give to gain means to them, and how it drives our mission of cultivating meaningful space for Asian arts and culture. By centering Asian voices and championing excellence, we work to redress the balance of cultural discourse in the Western world. Amplifying these powerful stories does not just support an individual; it deepens the global understanding of Asia and its impact on the world around us.

We want to take this opportunity to thank all the brilliant women who surround and inspire us every day. Their creativity, courage, and commitment to advancing collective prosperity continue to shape our work.

Incredibly hot cover (and hot new proofs) for @gabtorrr’s wonderful debut Hard Place - a novel about the hatred, politics, hypocrisy and confusing sexual tension that bubbles below every vegan houseshare’s cooking rota. Out with @scribneruk in June 26 🍷
