Kiều-Anh Nguyễn, Vietnam

Kiều-Anh Nguyễn is an interdisciplinary artist based in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Her art practice has foregrounded olfaction as the core line of inquiry to explore memory tracing and care practice, as it has taken the forms of participation, soft sculpture and often suggests travels between time, spaces, and sensory experiences. 

Her artistic vision strives to create spaces to address societal norms and foster inclusive conversations while spotlighting underrepresented bodies and narratives, notably about women.

Her work was exhibited in various spaces, including daadgalerie, VIVA ExCon, Vietnamese Women’s Museum, Asia Art Archive and documenta fifteen. 

She joined ba-bau AIR in 2019 and co-founded ba-bau collective in 2021. In 2023, she founded olfactory archives - where Nguyen focuses on using olfactory as an alternative form to reexamine archives. In 2024, she received Prince Claus SEED Award for promoting gender equality through her artistic practice.

​Meet Kiều-Anh at the Atelier 11 Open Studio on May 24th, to learn about her site-specific research, recontextualizing the atelier’s histories.
