Join us virtually at the Shircliff Gallery as Transdisciplinary artist Anh-Thuy Nguyen talks about the Boat Journey series.

Nguyen shares her feelings of dual tensions of the impossibility of full assimilation in a new land and the difficulty of returning and reintegrating in one’s own culture. in her onging photographic project Boat Journey. The project focuses on a quest for a place where we, immigrants, seek to belong. Captured by prairies and coasts, a figure dressed in traditional Vietnamese tunic and pant, áo dài, holds onto a small makeshift leather boat. This boat is the ticket, the passport to the escapades. However, it gets stuck on the land, can never be set free.
