„Unfortunately, when I speak of my Chinese identity today, it doesn’t mean I have access to Chinese culture or a cherished family tradition,“ says Maike Siu-Wuan Storf. „I’m socialized in German throughout, and for a long time I blocked access to my Chineseness by German Leitkultur.“ Maike is half-Chinese; her mother is the daughter of Chinese immigrants in Peru. After graduating from high school, she trained as a dressmaker and then studied stage design at the University of the Arts in Berlin.
