We hear from food writer Grace Dent about her new book, Comfort Eating, inspired by her podcast of the same name. She'll explain why she's so fascinated by the foods to make us feel better behind closed doors. The Iranian visual artist Shirin Neshat's latest work is called The Fury. It is a short film and series of photographs which explore the sexual exploitation of female political prisoners in Iran. Shirin left Iran as a teenager to study in the US and has lived in exile there since the 1990s. Her art is known for posing questions about how the female body is perceived within Islam and Iranian culture. She talks to Anita Rani about bringing The Fury to London and why she has chosen to deviate from her usual style and include the nude form. Gloria Daniel is the descendant of John Isaac Daniel, who was a slave. After finding out more about her family history and the lives of her ancestor, as well as other slaves, she has started the organisation TTEACH (Transatlantic Trafficked Enslaved African Corrective Historical) Plaques. She joins Anita to tell us about the exhibition they are currently holding which includes the testimonies and artwork of women. Mei Mac is an Olivier award nominee who has taken on the lead role of Kim in the ‘untitled f*ck m*ss s**gon play' at the Young Vic. The play tackles over a century's worth of stereotypes about Asian women in drama, parodying Madame Butterfly, Miss Saigon and South Pacific. Mei tells Anita about confronting prejudice in theatre, 'the bamboo ceiling' and why she has set up a mentorship scheme for British East Asian and South East Asian actors.

She talks to us about getting to your dreams in a systematic way, by putting in the work and growing personally and professionally within the roles that shifted from Fashion journalism to writing about politics and lifestyle for major publications such as Vice and The Guardian. Zing has such a wealth of experience to speak through with us, she continually brings in her learnings throughout the years. And if you have ambitions in journalism, broadcast or presenting you’ll be getting the jackpot in inspiration with this episode. We also speak about how, as an East Asian journalist, she is about to stay in touch with the the news that we've been facing while also giving herself a healthy amount of mental clarity and headspace. Can you believe she’s not 22?!FORGOTTEN WOMEN: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zing-Tsjeng/e/B077R13S9M%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share_Follow us__Instagram: @riceisricepodTwitter: @riceisrice_pod_Follow Zing__Instagram: miss_zingTwitter: @misszingRice is Rice presents NO MORE "QUIET ASIAN" charity livestream, 24th April 2021

This episode we explore the experiences of going to school as a British East Asian.School is something the mass majority of us have been through and have fond memories of favourite subjects, teachers and childhood friends. There is however the many challenges which come with identity when going to school as a British East Asian. The realisation that you are different from the other kids around you comes very early on as does the experience of racism and stereotyping, direct or subtle. There is also the responsibility to uphold your values and represent your culture as a model minority all whilst trying to fit in and score that A grade. As ESEA we are not just any minority but the minority minority which comes with differences out of our control and it's not just the way we look which is different to our peers, but the way we live, particularly the environment we go home to. The challenge of cultural dynamic and social interaction at school vs at home is it's own juggling act and the source of a widely experienced social disconnect that doesn't prepare many of us for the 'real world'. As western society remains at the front door, so does the learning and application of it. Socials: https://www.instagram.com/crazybritasianAsian RecommendationYear of the OX - https://www.youtube.com/c/YEAROFTHEOXKorean American Hip Hop Duo based in LA who have two impactful songs about the rise of xenophobia and asian hate crime during the pandemic.

We talk about finding your community as a gender fluid person. What gender fluidity means, being Chinese, how LGBT is STILL illegal in Malaysia (WTF), how genderising starts from a very young age, from phrases such as ‘boys will be boys’. How terms like ‘man up’, ‘being a pussy’ harms us all, unpicking habits in our daily life that harm LGTBQ+ people, I found out that Miley Cyrus is gender fluid, JK Rowling’s rhetoric on the trans community, mental health, similarities between being a painter decorator and makeup, and most importantly, celebrating being gender fluid.

This week, I had the most glorious time speaking to the award winning Actor, Director, Musician, Writer, Daniel York Loh. His passion and activism as a British East Asian actor is admirable. Basically, HE’S A PRETTY BIG DEAL in this world and has done/is doing incredible things to disrupt the narrative that British culture holds surrounding being East Asian. We talk about racism in the theatre world, how people view Asians as one monolithic block (hey, not ALL of us eat dogs, you know…wink), why the term ‘Oriental’ is not okay. My favourite part was right at the end when I asked Daniel about his proudest moment in his career. His response actually gave me goosebumps - it’s really lovely and shows his true integrity as a British East Asian actor. He is writing and producing a Zoom digital arts event called WeRNotVirus (the live show on 13th/14th June is sold out but will be available as a video afterwards). It will be a collective of leading actors, writers, directors and creatives of East and South East Asian heritage from the UK’s performing arts industry to present a new digital arts event. “This urgent artistic response aims to shine a light on the surge in hate crime directed towards the community during the Covid-19 crisis.” Enjoy!!

Identity, performance and globalisation are at the heart of the cultural practices interrogated by Amanda Rogers in Performing Asian Transnationalisms: Theatre, Identity and the Geography of Performance (Routledge, 2015).The book explores the global networks of theatre that have emerged between Asia, America and Europe, using a variety of policy, practice and political examples. The book argues that globalisation, and the attendant transnational flows of people and culture, has both the potential to create theatre careers and new, important, works, whist at the same time constraining individuals, communities and cultural forms. The book draws on a rich combination of ethnographic and interview data, along with theoretically informed cultural analysis, using examples ranging from The British Council and the Singapore Art Festival, through Asian American and British East Asian identities, to controversial performances of theOrphan of Zhao. The book will be of primary interest to cultural,geography and performance scholars, but has valuable insights for social science and the humanities more generally. Learn more about your ad choices.
