Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas (ADVA) is a one-of-a-kind peer-reviewed journal featuring multidisciplinary scholarship on intersections between visual cultural studies and the study of Asian diasporas across the Americas. Distinct from existing periodicals in Asian Studies or Asian American Studies, ADVA emphasizes the significant role visual cultures play in producing, locating, and relating diasporic subjectivities in all of their historical complexities.

ADVA provides an intellectual forum for researchers and educators to showcase, engage, and be in dialogue with the emerging epistemological and creative challenges facing the study of Asian diasporic visual cultures. The journal conceptualizes the Americas broadly to encompass perspectives on and from North, Central, and South America, as well as the Pacific Islands and the Caribbean.

ADVA explores visual culture in all its multifaceted forms, including, but not limited to, visual arts, craft, cinema, film, performing arts, public art, architecture, design, fashion, media, sound, food, networked practices, and popular culture. The journal recognizes not just the significance of images and representation about and from the diaspora but more broadly seeks to investigate the conditions under which new visualities are produced and the discrete ways in which they continue to shape and embed meaning within and about culturally specific, socio-political, and ideological contexts.

ADVA is published by Brill in affiliation with the Asian/Pacific/American Institute, New York University (New York) and the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute for Studies in Canadian Art, Concordia University (Montréal).

Happy Holiday Reading! This special double issue on The Eco Crisis, edited by Alex Chang is epic on so many levels, not the least that it is Alex's last issue as my dear founding co-editor-in-chief. Thank you, Alex, for an amazing (I can't believe it!) 7 years!!! I am calm and collected because I know you will always be with us in some way or another. Also want to include a shout out to our two amazing founding co-reviews editors also rotating off, the fabulous Viet Le and supreme Laura Kina! And, a very hearty welcome to incoming reviews editor Natasha P. Bissonauth, working with Larry Lee. Marissa Largo, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you helping the double AA's and V out this past year! Thank you so much, for the extra miles, and km's! We all wish our outgoing managing editor, Victoria Nolte, all the best with the bright future ahead of you! Victoria, in her inaugural role this past year has helped us immensely through these pandemic times and gotten us back on track! Finally thank you to all our authors, contributors, readers, subscribers, and our tireless team of editors on board, as well as anyone else I might have missed!

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Natasha Bissonauth to ADVA's editorial board, who is joining as a Reviews Editor.

Dr. Bissonauth teaches Visual Art and Art History at York University in Toronto. Her research centers q***r, trans, and feminist contemporary art practices with expertise in South Asia and its diasporas. Recent research interests expand upon indenture studies, archival work, and material culture. She is currently working on a book project that creates passage between histories of immigration and indenture. By threading ‘areas’ like South Asia, the Caribbean, and Mauritius, Black and Brown seams within the discipline emerge. Select publications include “Sunil Gupta’s Sun City: An Exercise in Camping Orientalism” (Art Journal; 2019), “The Future of Museological Display: Chitra Ganesh’s Speculative Encounters” (book chapter in Museums, Sexuality, and Gender Activism, 2020), and “The Dissent of Play: Lotahs in the Museum” (South Asia Journal, 2020), with forthcoming articles on the work of K**a La Mackerel and Renuka Maharaj.

Activists, academics and artists respond to Asian Canadian realities and discourses made urgent by the recent rise of anti-Asian violence, against a backdrop of long-standing systemic injustices. This two-day event tackles culture and politics, strategy and pedagogy, drawing connections across movements in abolition, s*x work, labour, histories, art and culture and futures of community-building and organizing.
