Loreli

Lo.Re.Li stands for Look, Read, Listen. Loreli is an open platform that hosts the works of visual artists, sound artists, and writers in China. 

I began contributing to Loreli in September 2015, and they’ve since published an interview with me about my writing, feminism and China. Here’s a little look at my work on Loreli:

There is no reason a western feminist ‘we’ must set the agenda for a developing world feminist ‘them’.

Nonetheless, Chinese feminism still embodies the principles by which feminists around the world are bound together.
