Havana Rose Liu didn’t set out to be an actress; she wanted to pursue performance art. At New York University, she built on her background as a dancer by developing her own major that explored the intersection of art, activism, and wellness. Before graduating in 2019, she created cookbooks and audio tours about the fetishization of minority cultures. One particularly moving live piece she created examined relationships and proximity by having her and an ex stare at each other through plexiglass for an extended period of time.
