east window in partnership with the University of Colorado Boulder will present a series of film screenings of contemporary Southeast Asian artists. This series is guest curated by Brianne Cohen, Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art History, University of Colorado Boulder. Cohen researches and teaches courses on art concerned with public sphere formation, decolonization, political violence, and ecology and environmentalism.
In this film Vietnamese-American artist Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn studies the relationship between humankind and animals, endangered and extinct species, and their symbolic and historic meanings. These investigations are specific to Vietnam’s current state of development, but the broad relationships mirror the global crisis of animal extinction.
