Nhập vai Ký ức — Một buổi viết chung cùng Tâm Đỗ

English | Tiếng Việt

Tâm Đỗ and A. Farm warmly invite you to a collective writing session where we will reimagine and rewrite an unfinished chapter of the past. “Nhập Vai Ký Ức” is a satellite program of 𝟨 𝒫𝑀 𝒾𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒶𝒻𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓃𝑜𝑜𝓃. 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝓁𝑜𝓃𝑔. 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝓃𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝓉𝑜𝑜 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝓁𝑜𝓃𝑔. 𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒾𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓅𝒶𝓈𝓉:.., a duo exhibition by artists Tâm Đỗ and Lê Đ. Chung. This workshop, an effort to expand Tâm Đỗ’s practice of speculation and dream, invites participants to explore the possibilities of interpreting history through personal memory and experience.

We will begin with a real letter, now displayed at the Southern Women’s Museum. It was written by Trần Thị Mẫn—later known as Trần Quang Mẫn—a woman from Vĩnh Thạnh, Kiên Giang, who disguised herself as a man to join the army during the war. Her life was a tapestry of combat, love, and escape. With Tâm Đỗ’s guidance, we will live the life of Mẫn and collectively rewrite a fragment of her story.
