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, reflect our hopes and doubts, while also offering possibilities for change, not only in policy making but also in our everyday life and perspective. 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 curatorial tour is part of an ongoing series of public and educational programs in association with the ‘No more, not yet’ exhibition, currently on display at Nguyen Art Foundation.
