Curatorial tour with Bill Nguyen
Nguyen Art Foundation (NAF) is pleased to present an art tour of our newest exhibition No more, not yet, led by NAF Director Bill Nguyen. Following NAF’s main theme this year – Compassion and Community – this two-part exhibition explores issues of migration, marginalization and social responsibility, celebrating artistic practices that are community-conscious and people-oriented. As Thich Nhat Hanh once said, “Understanding someone’s suffering is the best gift you can give another person. Understanding is love’s other name. If you don’t understand, you can’t love.” Collectively, the artworks in this exhibition aspire to change the human condition, to push for human development, and to create a space to practice empathy. They respond to past and current socio-political issues and reflect our hopes and doubts while also offering possibilities for change, not only in policy making but also in our everyday lives and perspectives. Join us for this exciting exhibition walkthrough as Bill discusses the themes and media of the artworks on view, as well as his insights into the participating artists’ thought and creative process.
This event is part of a series of public and education programs in association with No more, not yet, an exhibition organized by Nguyen Art Foundation.
