Artist and Curator Dialogue: Vietnam Re-imagined

Sun 02/1/09
2:00PM to 3:30PM

Phuong M. Do and Nora A. Taylor
When she arrived in Vietnam after living for nearly three decades as a refugee in the U.S., photographer Phuong M. Do embarked on a project that confronted her feelings of displacement and separation. In this dialogue, Nora A. Taylor, curator of Changing Identity, talks with Do about this project and women’s art in Vietnam today. Do received a master’s degree in photography at NYU in 2002. She has participated in several group exhibitions and a solo exhibit, Places of Home, at the Asian American Arts Alliance in New York in 1998. Taylor is currently professor and Alsdorf Endowed Chair of Southeast Asian Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is author of Painters in Hanoi: An Ethnography of Vietnamese Art (2004) and has lectured and published widely on Vietnamese art. In 2004–2005, both women were Fulbright Scholars in Hanoi, Vietnam.
