Abstract

This article discusses a collaborative art project by Dri Chiu Tattersfield and Ames Ma that explores the intersection of Asian American nostalgia and critique of supply chain capitalism through the lens of the popular drink, Yakult. The artists examine the multinational networks involved in the production and distribution of Yakult, highlighting the exploitation of Asian women in the labor process. They argue that engaging with supply chain capitalism and practicing international solidarity is crucial for Asian American feminism and envisioning futures beyond capitalism and borders. The art project incorporates archival materials and raw substances to reimagine community stewardship, science, and care. [Extracted from the article]
