In honor of the historic Oscar wins of Everything Everywhere All At Once and for Women's History Month, Feminist Border Arts and the academic unit for Gender and Sexuality Studies at NMSU is releasing Dr. L. Anh Williams's comic "All At Once," a micro graphic narrative memoir combining popular culture and reflections on complex family relationships.

Dr. Williams is currently creating a book-length research-creation project that uses graphic narrative to explore queer Vietnamese Asian American experience in the diaspora. As she writes in her 2023 comic, "All At Once," no story in cinema has been her story, but Everything Everywhere All At Once leaves her craving infinite possibility.
