What is the one food that defines your identity? Can something as simple as food help us understand who we are? In this talk, multi-disciplinary artist Chi Chi Cheng will share with us how her first encounter with a fortune cookie lead to a journey of self-reflection on the meaning of being Chinese. She will also tell us how she uses fortune cookies in her art to help us reflect on our own roots and identities.
