“[Nguyen’s] artistic disciplines focus on applying mixed forms of haptic and corporal research relating to the human body, combining social and cultural collaboration to create new art manifestations by re-interpreting and acknowledging traditional crafts, vernacular design, and architecture to inspire contemporary art-making.”

I recently spent two months researching Rural design with the villagers in southern China of Jiangxi Province, Funded by Lucitopia Residency and Academic Research supported by the School of Design from XJTLU. Currently, my performance film, 'Auntie Tiles,' made during Lucitopia residency, is shown part of the Cine Plus Performance Art Festival in Buenos Aries, Argentina, and received a special mention by Jury VestAndPage.
