About Hyphen:
Hyphen is an nationally distributed Asian American publication fiscally sponsored by Independent Arts & Media, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Based in San Francisco, Hyphen was created as a response to a void of media for young Asian Americans. Covering arts, culture and politics in a fresh and irreverent voice, Hyphen is a media must for savvy Asian Americans. With award-winning design and content, Hyphen is recognized nationwide as an authority on contemporary Asian American identity. Since its inception, Hyphenhas been touted in print, online and on camera. Hyphen has been featured or quoted in media outlets such as Yahoo, ESPN, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, Houston Chronicle, Utne, Flavorpill, Gothamist and Racialicious.
Why Hyphen?
Because it shouldn't be hard to find substantive and well-researched articles about complicated issues that affect Asian Americans in a single magazine devoted to us.
Because we're tired of reading celebrity profiles in publications that tell us what to buy, where to travel, and how to eat.
Because we're bored with first-person essays about discovering our roots. Hello, can we stop talking about our roots, which we found a long time ago thank-you-very-much, and move on? Can we talk about people doing interesting things because they're interesting, not just because they're Asian American and always making statements about their identity?
Because we feel excluded when reading only about New York and California—what about Texas and Minnesota and Kansas?
Because we'll yawn if we see another interview with the same three Asians the mainstream approves of. We want to hear about emerging artists, writers, filmmakers, performers, and musicians.
Because we're Asian American, not Asian.
Because when we scanned the newsstand, we couldn't find ourselves. Now we can.
