“I am… Chronically Brown” by Sukhjeen Kaur and Shani Dhanda

This issue explores the concept of who we are as individuals and as a community of artists and writers from across the globe. I am not your monolith. I am disabled. I am more than my impairment or condition.

A surreal collage of a photo of a South Asian woman’s face floating against a pink background surrounded by cut outs of open coconuts. Her skin is brown and she is looking to the side wearing pink lipstick. There is a line drawing of a hearing aid to the left of her face, a blue eraser placed on her chin that appears to be rubbing away her skin to reveal a light pink colour underneath. A graphic hooped gold ring is pierced through her nose and a purple cut out hand is holding a plastic pair of chattering teeth in front of her mouth. A paint brush is sat on the top of her head, painting her skin to look more pale.
A surreal collage of a photo of a South Asian woman’s face floating on a bright yellow background surrounded by cut outs of clenched red fists. Her skin is brown, she is wearing dark winged eyeliner and pink lipstick. There is a line drawing of a hearing aid to the side of her face with a purple cut out hand beside it. A graphic nose ring with a cross hanging from it sits on her nose and there are drops of sky blue tears falling from her left eye in the shape of India and surrounding countries.
