Happy Lunar New Year! Our 14th issue drops now—read on for more details!Which are the aromas coaxing you to sleep at night? Which are the whiffs you track to a fight? Which are the trails you follow home? Scents are often treated as slippery, effervescent—clouded gates to locked memories and the stuff polluting forgotten nightmares. Yet, in the midst of their poetic gauze, they can still be numbing and inundating. Sine Theta Magazine is pleased to introduce Issue #14 “PERFUME 香”: a heady, electrifying compendium of evocative artwork, steely poetry, and thoughtful conversation. A slice of what this 43-paged print issue brings to the table: Kimberly Kiong’s photo series “Perfume” calls to mind the fleeting childhood “chouchou.” paul aster stone-tsao’s poem “Flatulence” tackles the visceral onslaught of spoors. Kwan Ann-Tan’s “Dirge of the Hungry Ghosts” encircles the special place food holds in memory and veneration. A record number of sinθ staff members dissect diaspora gatekeeping, class privilege, ethnic enclaves, and more in a heated editors’ conversation about the potential of a global Sino diasporic community.Art director Elisabeth Siegel converses with performance artist Patty Chang, discussing Chang’s recent project involving ablution of a beached whale and her past work in China with minoritized figures and communities. Editor-in-chief Jiaqi Kang speaks with Seattle-based artist Stevie Shao on Instagram’s influence on creator communities and stepping out from school into “the real world.” Issue #14 “PERFUME 香” can be purchased here.The sinθ team is grateful to all the contributors, interviewees, and supporters who have made this issue possible.
