About the event
Not Chinese enough. Not Batak enough. Not human enough… but definitely tired enough.
Join Lizzie Chan for a poetry reading and panel discussion of Seeking Neon Buddha, part identity crisis, part poetry show, part group therapy. Hear the mess behind the manuscript, from first meltdown to first draft, and every existential spiral in between.
If you've ever had to explain your own face at a family gathering or quietly Googled which meat is allowed at which celebration, and what name to call your 13th aunties this one's for you.
Identity and comedy aren't opposites. They're survival partners.
