A disenchanted American boy lost in the streets of Taiwan. Characters searching for the India they left behind or returning to a homeland haunted by its own. A teenage girl coming of age in a war-ravaged Vietnam. Engaging with richly-drawn characters and settings is one of the many ways in which readers and writers are able to celebrate their cultures. Join our presenters as they share heritage through storytelling.
Presenters: Mark Crilley, Nishanth Injam, Thao Thai

Special Note: This session previously titled “Exploring Other Cultures” has been renamed, with a new session description. The Festival deeply regrets causing any parties to feel marginalized and is grateful for the opportunity to rectify this through honest discussion.
