Students and Faculty are invited to join us for a discussion of M.A. Candidate in Critical and Curatorial Studies Kim Nguyen’s exhibition Everything Is Not Lost.
Critical and Curatorial Studies Track Critique: 7 May
Students and Faculty are invited to join us for a discussion of M.A. Candidate in Critical and Curatorial Studies Kim Nguyen’s exhibition Everything Is Not Lost. The exhibition features the work of Christian Nguyen, Nhan Duc Nguyen, Pipo Nguyen-duy, and Khanh Vo, four contemporary artists who address themes of family, loss, and the intricacies of memory. These artists interpret the thirty-year influence of the Vietnam War through autobiographical experiences, narratives, and postmemories. Working in a variety of mediums, these four artists confront the socio-political and emotional complexities of warfare and the events that consequently define who they are today.
Invited guest to lead the discussion is Michael Turner.
Date: Wednesday, May 7
Time: 10:30am
Place: Belkin Satellite, 555 Hamilton St.
