From Nha San Collective:
So small what remains of a civilization, a culture, a person. So little what we’re capable of understanding and representing Champa – just a traveling suitcase would be enough to contain it. Or perhaps, this image implies a wandering, geographically and mentally?
“Champa in a Valise” presents the initial results of a collaborative and educational travel project aiming to explore the Cham culture and communities in Ninh Thuan since 2013, with the participation of 9 artists from Nha San Collective and 3 Cham artists/researchers from Ninh Thuan and Saigon.
The two-day presentation will include film screening, photography, poetry reading and installations, followed by a series of talks by the participating artists and cultural researchers discussing possibilities for projects crossing art and ethnography.
Participating artists: Nguyễn Huy An, Tạ Minh Đức, Vũ Thị Hằng, Jaka, Jamie Maxtone-Graham, Nguyễn Phương Linh, Nguyễn Trần Nam, Inra Sara, Nguyễn Trinh Thi, Nguyễn Thuỷ Tiên,Vũ Đức Toàn, Trà Vigia.
The project is sponsored by the Danish Culture Cultural Development and Exchange Fund (CDEF)
Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE is not a museum, a gallery or an international culture institute where completed work are presented by established artists. Just like Nhà Sàn Studio before, it is a working studio to nurture where artists can create, collaborate, be given advices, critiques, and have chances to meet with international artists, curators. Works that are presented at open studio every month could be finished or not, but the process of developing idea and working to improve the quality of the art work for local artists is what Nhà Sàn COLLECTIVE focus on.
If you are interested and curious about experimental art, and want to have conversation with the working artists, please visit
