Debris Magazine presents a reading and conversation on Issue 07: GET HELP with editors Cher Tan and Jon Tjhia, and contributors Ouyang Yu and Revan Oluku.
GET HELP asks what it means to help when every intervention risks producing new problems. In a time of overlapping crises, “help” is rarely straightforward-often entangled with harm, misfire, or unintended consequence.
