. In Vietnamese popular mythology, every family is said to have three kitchen gods that reside in their house. Altars are typically placed by the stove so the gods can always watch over to ensure family members treat each other well and all matters of the home are in order.
The Kitchen God Series explores the imaginative landscape of myth, by looking at how young Vietnamese people create homes of their own in New York City. By unpacking cultural rituals as performance, this next generation finds ways to make traditions part of their own lives.
