Silk & Ink Magazine
Issue 02: family & cultural identity
Dear Readers,
Silk & Ink Magazine is thrilled to share our Issue 02: childhood experiences. Silk & Ink Magazine was created as a literary space dedicated to uplifting and enhancing Asian culture, history, and experiences through art, writing, and other artistic formats
At the heart of this issue is family & cultural identity, a theme that echoes across borders and generations. In every facet of your life, your family & cultural identity shapes it.
We hope these carefully curated pages, filled with beautiful, mindful writings and artwork, remind you of something you've forgotten or reveal something new.
Thank you for being part of this.
With gratitude,
Silk & Ink Magazine’s Team
