Join SAAM’s Curator of Time-Based Media Saisha Grayson for a special, before public hours tour of Tuan Andrew Nguyen’s single-channel color video The Island (2017). Nguyen’s video, set on the Malaysian island of Pulau Bidong, combines history with futurism to explore contemporary topics such as the impact of forced global migrations in imaginative and striking ways. This screening of the forty-two-minute video includes Vietnamese translation. Post-screening, Grayson will lead a discussion about the installation. This program is presented in partnership with Vietnam Society, as part of Vietnam Week 2024.
