Hoa Tay (Flower Hands) : Southern Artists of the Vietnamese Diaspora
to
Ogden Museum of Southern Art 925 Camp Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130
In a commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art celebrates the work of Vietnamese-American artists working in the American South. These artists represent a culture within the fabric of America—and especially the South—that has battled displacement, assimilation, systemic racism, and collective trauma; and has contributed enormously to out communities in the realms of cuisine, beauty, and the arts.
Representing a broad range of media and style, the artists exhibited in Hoa Tay (Flower Hands) illustrate the nuances of dual identities, of difficult and resilient legacies, and imagine paths forward. ogdenmuseum.org.
