From the organizer:

You are invited to the exhibition “My Mother in Law” of artist Truong Thien.
His statement about the exhibition: “From the community art project Last Holidays (2007 – 2009), with the collection and exhibition of family pictures to illustrate a space that changed, in this exhibition, I collected pictures from my mother in law’s family, those are from black and white photography era in Vietnam…”

“I understand that each individual is a knot to create links of family, clan, bounding relationships as a network. Together they become the so-called community, the nation, the country. By studying an individual, and establishing a multi-dimensional genealogical tree made of images and stories from time to time, I want to query the history of the formation of community, the way that they developed or changed, and the outlook of this community about itself”.

This exhibition is sponsored by British Council Arts Fund (BCAF).
