Thuan Uyen Le

Grants

To research the networks, exchanges, and activities of Vietnamese and Southeast Asian contemporary artists in Hong Kong in the 1980s-1990s. Lê will conduct archival research that maps the historic activities, exhibitions, and artistic exchanges of Southeast Asian artists in Hong Kong, focusing on how they articulated their practices within a broader regional context. She also aims to visit and meet peers from Hong Kong art institutions to learn about their respective approaches to archiving, exhibition-making, and presenting key artistic figures and moments, and to share her own insights on the current art landscape in Vietnam. Lê hopes to deepen her understanding of regional artistic networks and histories, contributing to a more inclusive, critical, and dynamic engagement with art history.
