Do You Speak Second Gen? Zine by Sophie Wang
“Chinese is my first language but also my second. It is both familiar and distant, evokes both trouble and comfort. This zine contains 12 lenses through which I view my relationship with this language that I speak as a second generation immigrant. Perhaps it is relatable to you, perhaps you will share a lens or two, perhaps you too know your vegetables best.” - Sophie Wang

Sophie Wang (or Shuf, she/her) is a zine gremlin currently based in the Twin Cities. She makes zines/comics/art that bring a critical power lens to science, technology, epistemology, and forms of knowledge-making, and an experiential lens to her second generation Chinese American experience and other parts of her life. Her work covers topics ranging from equity and exclusion in science museums to campaign demands against predictive policing in LA. She is also a co-founder of Free Radicals, an activist collective at the intersection of science and social justice. You can find her offline looking at leaves by the water or baking plum crumble, and you can find her online watching Dota 2. If you do find her online, tell her to log off.
