Over the past two months at Para Site’s 10/F space, Sam Lui has devoted her residency to the  reflection and retelling of ‘Wendy’s Wok World’—a persona-driven project that unpacks the  disciplinary world of wok-cooking alongside questions of purity, secrecy, and authenticity. Through the Bad Purity Book Club and her studio research, Sam has collected and deepened her conception of how authority and identity are performed, fractured, and concealed.

In this closing gathering, Sam is joined by Wendy, who rarely appears at the same time. When both are present in the same room—artist and persona, self and other—what kind of dialogue emerges? What is purity to them, what secrets do they carry, and where does authenticity reside? Blending narratives, (auto)biographies, and performances, Sam invites us to witness these layered conversations take shape.

This gathering also marks the final day of Sam’s residency, a chance to bring together friends and communities in celebration. Join us to close this chapter together.
