Do you have a question about love, life, work or beauty regimes? You ask, we answer!

Ask Asian Aunty is an interactive performance that melds two cultural matriarchal forms: the Asian Aunty, someone who consistently gives unsolicited and unfiltered but ~loving~ life advice; and the Agony Aunt, an advice columnist offering solutions to readers’ personal problems. 

Ask a question and it’ll be answered by the Asian Aunties in a typical brash, humorous and caring manner. Maybe it’s not the advice you want to hear but it’s probably the advice you need.

This event is part of This Is Who We Are (TIWWA) which is part of the British Council's UK-Australia season.

About

Ask Asian Aunty is a collaboration between Jamie Lewis and Tian Zhang, with digital producer Amy Zhang. The initial concept was created by Jamie Lewis, Natalie Tan and Tian Zhang across Australia and Singapore, and launched in early 2021 on @askasianaunty featuring OG aunties Jamie Lewis and Natalie Tan. In late 2021, Ask Asian Aunty featured queer aunties-in-residence Anna Hay and Rosie McGowan.
