Working across a range of forms and materials, Thu Van Tran uses her own experience as a cultural outsider – a Vietnamese woman living in France – to explore physical and cultural displacement and history of colonialism, subjects that have become poignantly relevant in today’s climate. She was born in 1979 in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) and lives in Paris (France). In 2022, Thu Van Tran had a strong presence in the exhibition »Reclaim the Earth« at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris curated by Daria de Beauvais, as well as at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh (USA) for the 58thInternational Carnegie. In 2023, the MAMAC in Nice will devote a solo exhibition to her, while the Bourse de Commerce - Collection Pinault in Paris gives her a prominent place in its exhibition »Before the Storm«.
