Writers of Indonesian heritage question the domestic sphere through fiction works

The domestic is often seen as a safe space, while female characters - who are frequently linked to the domestic - are commonly given the responsibility of safeguarding that space, even though the external world has become too perilous or the domestic itself has become too complex to remain safe.

This was one of several subjects touched on by two writers of Indonesian heritage currently residing in Australia: Tiffany Tsao and Intan Paramaditha, when SBS Indonesian caught up with them after their appearance as speakers in a discussion about speculative fiction facilitated by the Writing and Society Research Centre at Western Sydney University.
