ABOUT:
Sue Man (b. Stockholm, Sweden) is a London-based artist of Chinese heritage. Her participatory and multidisciplinary practice explores the textures of cultural heritage, the flavours of memory, and the intricate weave of belonging and identity. Working across mixed media—including textiles, clay, and food—she creates spaces where personal and collective narratives are shared, resilience is nurtured, and futures are reimagined.
As an artist, cultural programmer, and community builder, Sue uses materiality and conversation as tools for reconciliation, connection, and resistance. She repurposes her family trade in hospitality to mobilise intergenerational narratives within underrepresented communities. Through tactile forms and shared experiences, she invites others into spaces of reflection, resistance, and care. Her work bridges art and activism, creating platforms for dialogue, challenging systemic inequalities, and fostering solidarity through shared cultural experiences.
Since 2009, Sue has facilitated creative projects with institutions such as the Southbank Centre and Museum of the Home, as well as grassroots organisations. Through art, collaboration, and collective action, she cultivates spaces where cultural exchange flourishes, empowering communities to reclaim and reshape their own narratives.
