CHAU NGUYEN draws from concepts of translation, memory, cultural symbols, materiality, and research on Vietnamese histories to convey frictions at the intersection of cultural identity, personal trauma, colonial fragments, and transnationalism. Her interdisciplinary practice employs experimentation and material transformation to combine her personal perspectives and research on postcolonial multinationalism. Chau presents a large installation/floor sand painting titled Still Waters.
