Nguyễn Thị Thanh Mai

Nguyễn Thị Thanh Mai employs various mediums such as drawing, installation, documentary film, video, and journalism to highlight issues spanning from personal narratives to broader themes of history and migration. Her works interweave research and experimentation, documentation and imagination. Exploring diverse subjects such as body, femininity, history, post-war, and migration, Mai’s art pieces are disjointed fragments that provide a window into the societal landscape she inhabits and passionately explores. 

Holding a Master of Fine Arts degree from Mahasarakham University, Thailand (2012), Mai currently serves as a lecturer at University of Arts, Hue University. She received the Pollock Krasner Foundation Award in 2014 and the Artist Excellence Award in 2021 from The Factory.
