Phuong Ngo is a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist and curator, whose practice is concerned with the interpretation of history, memory and place, and how it interfaces with contemporary sociopolitical issues. Inheritance seeks to reframe and heal histories of colonialism, war and displacement through art. Through archival materials, video, and performance, Inheritance reconfigures post-colonial, familial and geographical relationships across South Vietnam, Tarntanya/Adelaide, Naarm/Melbourne and Kamberri/Canberra, in an attempt to deepen connections with the past, present and future. In doing so, the project aims to transform suffering and how we relate to it, to re-image what was lost and gift it to future generations of the Vietnamese diaspora.
'Inheritance' is an ongoing and ever evolving project which was first exhibited at West Space (Naarm/Melbourne). Canberra Contemporary will present the second stage of the project, and each iteration of the exhibition will be different and tailored in response to place and space.
