Liú Méi-Zhì Huì Chen

Liú is a queer, trans non-binary, disabled, Abolitionist nerd and cultural organizer. They are currently the Oral History Manager at the National Public Housing Museum (NPHM). Liú views storytelling and narrative history as key strategies for cultivating more holistic understandings of our pasts, presents, and futures; thawing trauma, and nurturing authentic connection.

At NPHM, they focus on building capacity among misrepresented communities and empowering them with the agency and skills to document, preserve, and share histories from their perspectives.

Liú’s personal work also centers community self-determination, as well as chosen family, Blasian coalition movements, and the textures of silence.
