Current Exhibition

2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnamese American community. Recomposition is a strong core exhibition theme manifesting in varied homages to family, community, physical cities, photographs, textiles, media, including lasting, changing legacies. There is an intentional blurring and distortion of familial structures, traditions, and cultural objects that both manipulate and investigate memory in a way that prompts generative conversations on language and inheritance. With the 50th anniversary of the Vietnamese American community, and what fifty years could possibly mean – On Refuge: 50 Years of Recomposition reckons with the return of cultural ownership, the entanglement of history, and how the Vietnamese American community is carried, embodied, and continued.
