SARAH LUU (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist and writer. She gravitates towards photography, ceramics, zines, and print making in her studio practice.  

As a first generation Asian American, her work has touched on themes of her mixed Vietnamese-Chinese identity, intergenerational cycles, culture and tradition. She explores themes outside those topics by pulling inspiration from her lived experience growing up in the San Jose, CA surrounded by a vibrant arts and music culture.  

Her current research revolves around the experiences of the Vietnamese diaspora, focusing on post-colonial memory in domestic spaces, exploring how the microhistories that live within immigrant family archives and cooking rituals may bridge the gaps between elder immigrant generations and their American-born descendants.

She received a BA in Studio Art, Preparation for Teaching from San Jose State University in 2024 and is currently studying for an MFA in the Art and Social Practice program at Portland State University.

Her favorite food at the moment is her mother’s Bánh Canh and she can rollerskate backwards. She knows how to speak 5 languages and considers herself a professional in egg-frying of all forms.
