Chenzhen Hu (He/Them)

News & Opinions Writer

Queer East Asian diaspora from Spain. I enjoy dissecting media culture through a critical lens. Interested in social justice, critical race studies, queer theory, affect theory, disability studies, coloniality and building anti-racist movements within the Asian communities. Also, I’d also like to put some light on Asian artists beyond the US; particularly from Spain. During my free time, I am either eating, sleeping, playing computer games, reading or watching some TV show. Overall, my best time is when I’m spending it with my friends; laughing, talking, discussing or just eating hot pot together.

Heyo! My name is Jonon! Acting has been my passion since I was a youngster. I am currently based in New York City and study Acting & Theater at the New School for Drama. I also do Playwriting and article writing. I’ve always wanted to see more Asian representation in media. And I hope that our articles and work here have resonated and have had a positive effect on you and for representation. Other things about me are that I’m a big fan of animation and animals!

What’s good? My name is Lubin and I use he/him pronouns. I’m a recent graduate from Temple University, with a thorough track record for doing different things. I was a campus tour guide, a member of the student government, a resident assistant, and most recently, a part of the Temple News. Fun Fact: It was at the later where I developed an interest in writing and subsequently joined the Asians for the Arts team! I am throughly excited to share my love for the asian community in articles soon to come. Cheers!

Hey there! My name is Cato and I am one of the Prose+Poetry Staff Writers for Asians in the Arts.

Angie Orbeta

Staff Artist

Hi! I’m Angie, a Filipina artist currently studying animation. Raised in America my whole life, I’ve been meaning to tap more into my Asian background and learn more about different Asian cultures in general. I feel especially grateful that I can be a staff artist for Asian in the Arts because I can connect with myself on a cultural level by doing what I love most- which is art! When I’m not creating I enjoy dancing, listening to music, and geeking out over my favorite shows and movies ( and sometimes even drawing fanart too! )
