Tuan Andrew Nguyen’s work explores the power of memory and its potential to act as a form of political resistance. His practice is fuelled by research and a commitment to communities that have faced traumas caused by colonialism, war, and displacement. Through his continuous attempts to engage with vanishing or vanquished historical memory, Nguyen investigates the erasures that the colonial project has brought to bear on certain parts of the world. Through collaborative endeavours with communities throughout the world, Nguyen aims to cultivate and empower these strategies enacted and embodied by his collaborators. This collaborative practice enables Nguyen to explore memory as a form of resistance and empowerment, emphasising the power of storytelling as a means for healing, empathy, and solidarity.
