Inspired by humdrum press’ living, breathing manifesto where they attach an open-access Google Docs as their manifesto for everyone to comment and add to, re:wave similarly made our manifesto an open document that everyone can build on and contribute to.

Vision & Mission Statement

re:wave is an East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) queer feminist press, open collective, and learning commons that publishes online and open-access written, oral, multimedia, and experimental work.

By carving out a community-centred space for dialogue and action, re:wave aims to redress fragments in ESEA queer feminist imaginaries, weave our pasts and present to reimagine our collective futures, and reorient our ways of knowing and doing. 

We seek to publish, archive, and circulate queer feminist work from and for ESEA that are beyond critical and deconstructive, which do not settle in stasis. Instead, we seek those that push boundaries of knowing, re-worlding and worldbuilding that is oriented towards building queer feminist solidarity in the region and beyond. 

Our mission is for our press to produce methods, catalysts, and triggers that compel us to action. Our aims are not archipelagic goals envisioned in the future to “be achieved” — they actively shape our practice as re:wave
