Description
Join Anna Sulan Masing, Emma Slade Edmondson and Kit Fan for a timely conversation rooted in food, identity, belonging and the stories we inherit, as they explore what everyday life in Britain reveals about the world in which we live.
Drawing on Chinese and Any Other Asian, Masing explores East and South East Asian identity in Britain through food, history and culture, while Edmondson reflects on mixed identity and belonging through her work on Mixed. Fan’s new novel, Goodbye Chinatown, brings questions of migration, family and home vividly to life through the tastes, pressures and possibilities of London’s hospitality world.
Together, they ask how we live now and what our everyday lives reveal about who we are becoming.
