Join us for a special in-person conversation with two Lieus!
Susan Lieu will visit the Wing Luke Museum to talk about her debut memoir, "The Manicurist's Daughter" with Kat Lieu, author of "Modern Asian Baking at Home" and "Modern Asian Kitchen."
Susan Lieu is a Vietnamese-American author, playwright, and performer who tells stories that refuse to be forgotten. A daughter of nail salon workers, she took her autobiographical solo theatre show 140 LBS: How Beauty Killed My Mother on a 10-city national tour with sold-out premieres and accolades from L.A. Times, NPR, and American Theatre.
Eight months pregnant, she premiered her sequel Over 140 LBS as the headliner for ACT Theatre’s SoloFest. Within one year she held 60 performances to over 7,000 people.
Her award-winning work has been featured at Bumbershoot, Wing Luke Museum, The Moth Mainstage, On The Boards, The World Economic Forum, RISK!, CAATA ConFest, Viet Film Fest, and she has spoken at more than a dozen universities around the country.
Kat Lieu is the culinary wizard behind the smash hit Subtle Asian Baking (SAB) community and a force to be reckoned with in the kitchen and beyond. Once a doctor of physical therapy, Kat's now stirring up the world of food and activism, raising dough for various causes.
Susan and Kat will be available to autograph books at the end of this talk. Copies of their books will be available for sale via our Museum Marketplace.
