Since its inception in January 2018, Silk Club has hosted and participated in a number of community events and programs, in addition to creating and developing our zine QUIET!
QUIET! is a bi-annual zine that weaves together photography, writing, art, design, and other creative works about Asian and Asian American experiences. As Asian women, non-binary, and genderqueer folks, our stereotypically introverted demeanor has been used as a means of belittlement and ridicule. In an attempt to unlearn, subvert, and reclaim this given identity, our collaborators reflect on many aspects of Asian and Asian American life. Situated within a social justice-oriented and feminist framework, the QUIET! zine, and Silk Club at large, strive to highlight and empower Asian creatives, create a space for marginalized voices, and nourish a sense of community.
