Banana Magazine #7

Birthed in Chinatown NYC, Banana strives to navigate through the blurred Eastern and Western boundaries and create a voice for contemporary Asian culture. We want to use the magazine as a platform to feature, celebrate, and join the conversation with Asian creatives in a journey to define our collective identity. 

In this issue:

In this issue, we explore the growing landscape of Asian representation in American reality television with an eight-part series featuring talent from across unscripted genres and differing perspectives like Crystal Kung Minkoff from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kim Chi from RuPaul's Drag Race, Amrit Kapai from Family Karma, and more. The issue also features Brooklyn-based artist Justin Yoon, who painted an original piece that was adapted for the cover art of the issue.
