Comic: Gender Tapas from Groooonk! | The Chilli Pepper Review
https://anishasridhar.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/gendertapas
The Chilli Pepper Review. Comics, Culture and Cinema. Comic: Gender Tapas from Groooonk! September 28, 2013. I found this quirky little comic. Two gender ambiguous people go out to Brian’s Binary for dinner and find that they kinda like some stuff from the menu but want to mix it up. It’s really a clever way to discuss the concept of gender flexibility and the fact that we all possess, like or aspire to traits that are considered traditionally male or traditionally female.

The Chilli Pepper Review. Comics, Culture and Cinema. Monthly Archives: October 2012. Review: The Watch by Joydeep Bhattacharya. October 13, 2012. Tackles the uncomfortable topic of the U.S. war in Afghanistan. In telling the story of a young Afghani woman who only wants to claim her slain’s brother’s body so she can give him a proper burial, he draws out the real heart of the conflict: who is the enemy and just who is the defender? I like this book, despite the heavy. Here is the book trailer, because i...

https://anishasridhar.wordpress.com/2012/11
The Chilli Pepper Review. Comics, Culture and Cinema. Monthly Archives: November 2012. November 17, 2012. In awesome news, I won first prize in Talk Magazine’s short story competition! I’ve never won ANYTHING in my LIFE before so this is supermadexciting for me. So, the story is about a young girl junkie navigating the streets of Bangalore looking for her next fix. It’s pretty gritty. As usual because it’s a story about heroin abuse, it may not be suitable for ALL audiences. It’s only Rs. 10/-. The busin...

Casting Call: Untitled South Asian Webseries | The Chilli Pepper Review
https://anishasridhar.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/casting-call-untitled-south-asian-webseries
The Chilli Pepper Review. Comics, Culture and Cinema. Casting Call: Untitled South Asian Webseries. June 18, 2015. For the past six months, I’ve been working with three other South Asian writers to craft a web series around the experiences of three South Asian sisters living in NYC. As women, and as South Asians, we’d been talking about the diversity gap in today’s television and even web series. Where were the women that represented our experiences? Untitled Sisters Web Series:. We are a team of talente...

Comics: Culturestrike’s ‘Liberty For All’ | The Chilli Pepper Review
https://anishasridhar.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/comics-culturestrikes-liberty-for-all
The Chilli Pepper Review. Comics, Culture and Cinema. Comics: Culturestrike’s ‘Liberty For All’. January 24, 2014. So my interest was immediately piqued when I came across ‘Liberty for All’- a comic series by Julio Salgado and Tina Vasquez about LGBTQIA issues at Culture Strike. It tells the story of Liberty-an undocumented queer person of colour. The comic deals with all sorts of issues: immigration, feminism, queerness and race are the obvious. Check it out here.

The Chilli Pepper Review. Comics, Culture and Cinema. Monthly Archives: January 2014. Comics: Culturestrike’s ‘Liberty For All’. January 24, 2014. To me, as a cis-gendered hetero person of colour, this comic is sort of a soft introduction to issues faced by the queer/trans/non-cis community. It’s funny and what I like more though is the sometimes intellectual conversations Liberty has about these issues. I’m sure it’s buried on the internet somewhere. I just have to find it!
