Xuân-Hạ is an art worker whose practice spans roles as an artist, producer, and organizer, with a strong commitment to community-oriented work. Her approach centers on fostering creative empowerment and nurturing self-directed learning through art and curiosity. Her recent research explores the post-war impact on natural environments and the ways in which plant migration reshapes social contexts nowaday. Employing a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates moving images, installation, and conceptual art, Xuân-Hạ reconfigures personal imaginations into visual narratives. Her work constructs a discursive space that critically engages with the fluidity of identity, the impermanence of place, and the fragility of cultural continuity in the face of environmental and social transformation.

 

Besides working as an artist, Xuân-Hạ also plays an active role in building and expanding the local art community in Vietnam. She is the co-founder of Chaosdowntown Cháo (HCMC, 2015-2019) and more recently, the founder and artistic director of A Sông (Da Nang, 2019-present). She has been awarded for the International Future Leaders Program 2022-23 by The Australia Council for the Arts, and recently received the Fellows Award: Cultural & Artistic Responses to the Environmental Crisis 2024 (CAREC) by the Prince Claus Fund.  

 

Her work has been presented at notable international film festivals and exhibitions, including the Asian Avant-Garde Film Festival 2025 (M+ Museum, Hong Kong), Young Birds from Stranger Mountains 2025 (Schwules Museum, Berlin), Painting with Light Film Festival 2022 (National Gallery Singapore) as well as ESOK Jakarta Biennale 2021 (Museum of National Awakening, Indonesia). Her work has been featured across a range of institutions and art spaces, including the Art Foundation Saxony-Anhalt (Germany), Kyoto Art Centre and Kyoto University (Japan), the Vietnamese Women’s Museum, Nguyen Art Foundation, Sàn Art, and Quynh Galerie (Vietnam).
