Student Narrative

This zine borrows a Chinese Buddhist concept of the mother-child relationship: there is a debt the child owes to its mother for childbirth. In the context of Chinese society, the rhetoric of kinship is often used as a strategy to maintain the hegemony of patriarchy by arbitrarily categorizing the child as property under the name of a hetero-patriarchal monogamous family.
