Join us on November 7th at 6PM for the opening of the next Artist Alley takeover!

“Motherland / Đất Mẹ” by Anh Nguyen brings together photographs of rituals, altars, and offering tables made between Vietnam and the U.S. in search of visual reunions — imagined moments where scattered histories and distant geographies begin to find one another. 

The opening reception features “Temple of Memory,” an altar and culinary performance from Phoebe Tran (@bebep.babykitchen) Performance starts at 6:30pm. There will also be a pop-up “temple canteen” serving sliding-scale Buddhist vegetarian food.

As part of the show, Anh will also be hosting a zine-making workshop with @sprblooom on December 5th titled “Imagining Radical Vietnamese Futures” (RSVP coming soon).

 Anh Nguyen (@minhanhnguyenn) is a Vietnamese photographer based in Brooklyn. Her work explores how cultures shift and adapt outside of their original contexts, through unpacking rituals around food. She draws inspiration from Vietnamese customs, iconographies, myths, and how new meaning is created through interpretation.
