Lecture: Cathy Lu (Webinar)

Foreign Bodies

The lecture is an overview of my ceramic artwork over the last many years. My work is an exploration of my Asian American identity, being both Chinese and American while not being able to be fully accepted as either. Unpacking how experiences of immigration, cultural hybridity, and cultural assimilation become part of the larger American identity is central to my work.
