practice
Linh VH Nguyen is a queer Vietnamese-Canadian visual artist whose practice centers on photo-based work, both analog and digital, including cyanotype. She also works with installation to explore themes of transformation, memory, and belonging. Often using discarded materials, she questions who defines value and what gets left behind. Trash, to her, is a clue — revealing the systems that produce it and offering a chance to imagine alternatives. She has received support from the City of Ottawa, Ontario Arts Council, and Canada Council for the Arts, and her work is held in private collections internationally. Her work has been exhibited at the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, Ottawa Art Gallery – Annex, AXENÉO7, and Digital Arts Resource Centre. This is her first international residency and part of an evolving body of work on diasporic identity, intergenerational memory, and creative reuse. She is based on unceded Algonquin Anishinaabe territory (Ottawa).
