Queer Forever!, Vagina Talks invite you to join “Lip xinh” by artist-curator Dinh Thi Nhung

“Lip xinh” once again invite people to come paint together, apart from on paper and on iPad like usual, this time we also paint on the walls of Nhà Sàn Collective. Moreover, the artist will present some paintings – results of “Ban Lon – Vagina Talks” in recent years. Nhung’s new experiments in art communication with the audience will take place in the form of daily private talks with artists in private rooms. For easy updates, QFF2017 will create a new event page for this experiment.

A discussion between the artists and the audience will take place on the last day of the program – Thu 30 Nov at 6 pm at Nhà Sàn Collective.

*Lip xinh is a wordplay on lip-sync, a cherished type of performance often related to queers.

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 advice, 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 focuses on.
