    Critical Issues Lecture Series: Hồng-Ân Truong

    The 2021 Critical Issues Lecture Series takes place on Friday afternoons during winter quarter. It is organized by the School of Art + Art History + Design in collaboration with the Henry Art Gallery. The general public is invited to join degree-seeking individuals studying fine art in order to share ideas and raise questions about contemporary art. In addition to the public lectures, undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in ART 361/561 interface with the speakers in additional sessions.

    ARTIST BIO
    Hồng-Ân Trương uses photography, sound, video, and performance to examine histories of war and immigrant and refugee narratives through a decolonial framework. By interrogating archival materials, she examines the production of knowledge through structures of time and memory. Her interdisciplinary projects are premised on the concept that aesthetic battles are also political and ideological battles.
    Her work has been shown at venues in the US and abroad including Center for Photography (NY), Nhà Sàn (Hanoi), the Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin, Ireland), and the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MN). Her collaborative work with Hương Ngô was exhibited in Being: New Photography 2018 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She was a 2019-2020 Guggenheim Foundation Fellow in Fine Art and was the Capp Street Project Artist-in-Residence at the Wattis Institute at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco in 2020.
    She received her MFA from the University of California, Irvine and was a fellow in the Whitney Independent Study Program. Hồng-Ân is based in Durham, North Carolina where she is an activist and an Associate Professor of Art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
