A stranded dreamer, a bored typist and a defiant transqueerian space captain attempt to rediscover joy in a fantastical #StopAsianHate music video propelled by dance and animation. Outrageously underrepresented in the UK arts, 87% of the creative team were East and/or Southeast Asian or South Asian. Over half were LGBTIQA+, with nearly a third identifying as trans/non-binary/genderqueer. The team included neurodivergent and disabled artists. From the pain of coronaracism and a lifetime of bigotry and invisibility comes this beautiful, fantastical, outspoken, and epic voyage of truth - infusing vivid dance solos, dreamy piano and quirky animated interjections! The track was written by The Mollusc Dimension, a "transqueerian" British Chinese artist and directed by Darius Shu and the artist. Inspired by #StopAsianHate campaigns, solidarity placards by community members and allies also make an appearance, as do paper-mâché "cishet norms" and K-pop-inspired intensity.
