The long awaited seventh issue of CQ is here! The Gender Issue is an important issue on a significant topic in our context(s).
Manik Rege talks about the colour pink, and Jazelia Jasmene discusses the fluidity of gender. Wani Ardy opens up on covering up, just as Alicia Izharuddin critically considers that very same topic for Muslim-Malays. Staying in Malaysia, Gene Tan, a transgender lawyer, sits down with us for an exclusive interview. Going beyond borders, Korean filmmaker Minji Kang looks back at similar pressures in her life, while more critical discussion on Robert Downey Jr., masculinity and stardom is proffered by Joyce Ng.
Our collage features ten opinions on how we can better understand gender relations, while seven interviews answer seven Freakquently Asked Questions. Speaking of frequency, there’s the usual selection of rare and insightful works of art from Shemsi Elsani, Lydia Koh, Zue, Meera Supramaniam and more, all in the seventh issue of CQ Magazine!
