Growing up with gal-dem

Finding beauty in friendships with Elizabeth Gabrielle Lee

After moving to London from Singapore, artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elizabethgabriellelee/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elizabeth Gabrielle Lee</a> was shocked by the everyday discrimination and sexualisation she faced and quickly realised that many other East Asian women either had been through or would experience similar issues. This inspired her project <a href="https://www.instagram.com/xi__ng/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Xing</a> - a photography book that explores how East Asian women move through the world. Through collaborating on creative projects, Elizabeth explains the strength and beauty she has found in forging interracial friendships and the solidarity that came with them. <a href="https://gal-dem.com/growing-up-with-gal-dem-podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Find transcripts and show notes for all of Growing up with gal-dem here</a>.
