Tường Danh

Tường Danh is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, installation, and performance, based between Hồ Chí Minh City and Đà Lạt. In 2022, her practice underwent a significant shift toward research into ancient Vietnamese cultural thought, including the I Ching, Buddhist philosophy, and the histories of Avalokiteśvara, the Mother Goddess, and Tutelary Deity worship traditions—motivated by a sustained engagement with questions of identity and spiritual grounding as they intersect with queer existence. Her ongoing series Cửu Ca emerges from this research, realizing dream imagery of sacred creatures from Vietnamese traditional culture through site- specific sculpture and installation made with local materials gathered across Việt Nam. Her work has been presented at and with Á Space (Hà Nội), MoT+++ (Hồ Chí Minh City), Tamdem, NhacGay, Chomhom Galerie Quynh 12 (Hồ Chí Minh City), Curu – Saola (Đà Lạt), AirHue (Huế), Anatolia (Hà Nội), Nổ Cái Bùm Festival (Đà Nẵng), and Galerie Balice Hertling (Paris), among others.
