About Thanh Le Dang
Thanh Le Dang is an artist turned writer and theatre-maker who also works in children’s education. She creates community-rich, immersive experiences.
Having lived in Beijing, India and Spain, her work always returns to her roots—born and bred in Deptford. Her ancestors came from a Chinese border village; her parents fled post-war Vietnam before settling in south-east London.
China Plates is layered with diasporic and colonial echoes—from her grandfather’s quiet role in the opium trade, a distant thread in the wider web that once fed tea routes to these shores. Tucked into shop windows and corners, hand-painted paper plates imitate the porcelain kept for guests, offering brutalist views: “…small windows into what it meant to grow up here—stories soaked into the walls and skies of Deptford.”
