Explicit content warning
01/27/21 • 37 min
Some of our best comedians of colour often use their race as part of their jokes, and stand up comedy has this unique ability to talk about race in a way that’s less confronting than other methods. How does comedy do this? When can this be perhaps unhelpful? And what is the experience of Asian Australian comedians in the scene?

S03E08 - Bharatanatyam: Project Caste
Caste discrimination is one of those things that you can only understand if you have lived it. Many South Asians have been on the receiving end of caste discrimination, but similarly, many South Asians in Australia have perpetuated oppressive caste dynamics without even knowing it. In this episode, we explore what Caste is, and the complexities of how it operates in the diaspora through the eyes of a hereditary Bharatanatyam dancer.
