All related events to Hidden Heritages are free and open to the public and will require registration. During this fellowship period, I’ll be working with Photographer Binh Danh in developing and facilitating workshops for Hidden Heritages.
Hidden Heritages: San José’s Vietnamese Legacy brings Vietnamese artists and community members together to share, amplify, and artistically present stories that reveal the contributions of Vietnamese Americans to San José, one of California’s most diverse cities. I’ll be working with Vietnamese artists, musicians, and poets during a series of community-based, creative learning workshops that will provide opportunities to share personal experiences and memories, and to reflect on the transformational impact Vietnamese Americans have had on San José’s culture and economy, as well as its identity as the capital of Silicon Valley. New artworks inspired by these narratives will culminate in an exhibition at San José City Hall. I am so very much looking forward to this collaborative effort in unearthing the stories of San José’s Vietnamese community.
View my show & tell session that was made to encourage community members to share their stories to contribute to this project.

Presented by the Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network in partnership with Oakland Asian Cultural Center Sponsored by California Humanities and California Arts Council Exhibition schedule: January 16, 2022 – March 13, 2022: Kaddatz Galleries, Fergus Falls, MN March 27, 2022 – June 13, 2022: Oakland Asian Cultural Center, Oakland, CA October 23, 2022 – May 22, 2023: The Global Museum, San Francisco, CA January 7, 2024 - March 3, 2024: The Chandler Museum, Chandler, AZ March 17, 2024 – May 12, 2024: San Francisco Public Library, San Francisco, CA March 30, 2025 – July 9, 2025: Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County, Moorhead, MN
For We are Called to Freedom will be on display as part of this traveling group exhibit facilitated by Exhibit Envoy to commemorate April 30, 1975. Through contemporary multimedia art and writings, Textures of Remembrance: Vietnamese Artists and Writers Reflect on the Fall of Saigon will explore the way in which this date impacts many Vietnamese.
From DVAN: 2020 is Year 45 for those of us whose own or whose families’ journeys were sparked by the exodus events of April 30, 1975—a date that marks the Fall of Saigon and the dissolution of South Vietnam. For those of us in the diaspora, this historic event also marks the dawn of our Vietnamese diasporic identity as a people scattered to locations all across the globe (although we acknowledge that some Vietnamese left the motherland also before and after that date, and it is of course not possible to claim just one “birthdate” for all of our diasporic journeys). In general, however, we recognize April 30th as a date that holds commemorative weight for many Vietnamese on various shores. It is a date often remembered poignantly – as loss – especially by those of South Vietnamese descent; as well, it is a date that denotes new beginnings. Like all deaths, it is a date of both ending and rebirth.

I am honored to be named their inaugural Artist-in-Residence!
The work for their opening concert Gloria! is prompted by Artistic Director Matthew Martinez’s words on the theme of this winter’s concerts:
Transcendent, joyful, celebratory.
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to all.”
These are the words of the Gloria, one of the oldest, most joyful texts in choral literature that is the core of Vivaldi’s popular holiday piece.
<<< Here is the image of the work, titled Glory Be

Huế Children’s Shelter adopts a float for GO-BGC in memory of Jenny (Current)
Sponsored by US National Science Foundation
In partnership with Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), University of Washington, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Princeton University, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
February 2023: Float is assembled and undergoes preliminary pressure testing at University of Washington’s integration facility in Seattle, WA
March 2023: Trinh and Tom decorate the children’s float at the UW’s School of Oceanography
April 2023: Float is air-freighted to Cape Town, South Africa
May 2023: Float deployed on the icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer, somewhere between Cape Horn, Chile and the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa (follow her journey)
This. Is. So. Very. Super. So. Much. Exciting!!! I can barely handle it.
The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry (GO-BGC) Array is a project funded by the US National Science Foundation to build a global network of chemical and biological sensors that will monitor ocean health. Scientists from partnering institutions will build and deploy 500 robotic ocean-monitoring floats around the globe that will collect data on the chemistry and the biology of the ocean from the surface to a depth of 2,000 meters, with the aim of improving computer models of ocean fisheries and climate, and to monitor and forecast the effects of ocean warming and ocean acidification on sea life.
In honor of our belovèd JennyBoo, I’ll be working with MBARI Engineer Tom O’Reilly to draw on an adopted float that will include a collaborative design with the children residing at the Friends of Huế Foundation’s children’s shelter in Việt Nam. Jenny was a world-traveler who was enamored by the mysteries that science could help us discover, so this is a beautifully fitting way to celebrate her life and memory together with the children whom she so deeply adored, while taking part in this unique project to help us learn more about or changing oceans!
This will be a wonderful opportunity to engage the children in science education. Along with designing a logo for the float and partaking in Tom’s oceanographic presentations, the children will also have more opportunities to engage as we live-stream while we draw on our float! They’ll also have the ability to track their float and learn more about our oceans from its collected data. I cherish this opportunity to dovetail art and science as we serve our young minds and future scientists!
Thank you, Tom, MBARI, and Friends of Huế for including me in this very unique, necessary, and special project, and to Thank you, Tom, MBARI, and Friends of Huế for including me in this very unique, necessary, and special project, and to UW’s Rick and Greg for being such wonderful hosts!

Of Scrolls and Tears: Trinh Mai’s Archival Art and Organic Ephemera (Current)
Verge: Studies in Global Asias Portfolio 9.1
Published by University of Minnesota Press
Publish date: Spring 2023
I am pleased to announce that my artwork will be featured on the cover of Verge’s upcoming issue, accompanied by an essay by Howie Tran, lecturer at Brandeis University whose research focuses on the legacies of the war in Việt Nam and the state of South Việt Nam in diasporic literature from the U.S. and France.
Verge is a journal of the Asian Studies Program, Penn State University. This means so very much to me, since my family has such a rich history on Penn State campus. After settling at the refugee camp in Indiantown Gap, PA, my mother and several of my aunties and uncles graduated from Penn State. My Ông Bà Ngoại (Grandparents) spent time organizing the family band to perform traditional Vietnamese music and áo dài fashion shows to introduce their new American neighbors to Vietnamese culture.
And now an opportunity to collaborate with Penn State to share a new generation of art. I love when things come full circle like this.
Arise. Shine. Thy Light is Come. (Forthcoming)
Produced by Los Ángeles World Airports (LAWA)
Location: Los Ángeles International Airport (LAX), Tom Bradley International Terminal, Mezzanine
Mural will be on exhibit beginning in Spring 2023
Thank you, LAWA, for granting me an enormous canvas and generous support to paint more birrrrds! I am trilling with joy!
This summer, I’ll have the privilege of working on my largest mural to date (9 x 185 feet. Yay and Eek.) My hope is to turn the corridor into an lively, welcoming environment for visitors by introducing birds who call Los Ángeles home. The mural speaks on migration and the things that inspire the movement of our immigrant and refugee neighbors. I’m so honored to be the inaugural artist who will be making work for this newly-renovated space!
Time to seriously tighten up my mural education game. I’m looking forward to working with the warm LAWA team and would like to thank Tim, Sarah, and Stephanie, the stewards of this space, for welcoming me and our feathered friends into this place that is ours. *cheep *cheep*
Rancho Los Cerritos: Then & Now (Forthcoming)
Location: Rancho Los Cerritos, 4600 Virginia Rd, Long Beach, CA 90807
Exhibition dates: June 2023 - May 2024
Media Day + VIP Opening: Thursday, June 22, 2023
Opening Reception: Sunday, June 25, 2023
Featuring works by 5 southern California artists (to be announced)
I first discovered Rancho Los Cerritos when I attended a birdwatching tour. (I’ve since learned that the correct term is birding. How wonderful that bird is a verb.) Almost a year later, I’ve been invited back to participate in a photography show alongside 4 fellow southern California artists (to be announced). Together, we will utilize the photograph to explore the transformation of the ranch site, which was purchased by John Temple in 1843, and examine the lives of the people who served on the ranch who inherited the stewardship of the land.
Together, we will knot the threads of past and present, and examine the patterns we find still occurring in our present day living.
From Curator Andrea A. Guerrero:
The exhibition aims to create a visual dialogue between the site's past and present to gain a better understanding of the impact these many changes have had on the people who have lived and worked on these lands then and now …Together, these images examine how the land, structures, labor, technology, and community within the 27,000 acres have changed over time. The exhibition aims to create a visual dialogue between the site's past and present to gain a better understanding of the impact these many changes have had on the people who have lived and worked on these lands then and now.
Thank you, Carlos, for the invitation, and congratulations to Andrea on your curatorial debut!
History as Medium: A conversation with Artist Trinh Mai (Forthcoming)
Published by Asian American Law Journal
Publish date: to be announced
Asian American Law Journal (AALJ) is one of only two law journals in the United States that focuses on Asian American communities. In Summer 2020, AALJ included artwork in her journal for the first time since first published in 1993, and it was an honor to have my portrait of child refugees published in her pages. While we continue sludging through the plight of our refugees who are being detained and deported unlawfully, an urgency has erupted within me to help tell the stories of the families who have been impacted by the injustices within the immigration system. I am happy to announce that AALJ will be publishing a follow-up that centers around these themes.
I am so very grateful to AALJ for offering this space for me to share the childhood memories and the family history that has inspired my history-seeking work, and I hope that this article can help contribute to the scholarship of Vietnamese American refugees who are facing deportation orders in present day. It has been a wonderful process in chronicling these calamitous times in the light of hope.
Our hearts go out to the ones who are caught in these corrupt systems, the ones who are rigorously treading flooding waters to claim their freedom and their home in America. We are with you.
Egalitarian empath by Margaret Chiaro
American Paintings from the WPA Era: Contemporary Interpretations (Forthcoming)
Location: Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way, Oceanside, CA 92054
Exhibition dates: June 24 - November 5, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 24, 2023 5-7pm [Register here]
Featuring work by Scott Bruckner, Don Bartletti, Margaret Chiaro, Elizabeth Munzon, and Trinh Mai.
American Paintings from the WPA Era: Contemporary Interpretations presents a selection of works by five contemporary artists whose works carry the weight of hardship beside the hope that propels us forward while gazing toward unknown futures.
As we step gingerly through the pandemic and witness our communities springing back into life, we ruminate on the ways that history has revisited us. A century later, our society continues experiencing similar challenges to those endured throughout the WPA era.
The works presented in this independent exhibition respond visually and thematically to specific historic paintings from the adjacent exhibition, Art for the People, a collection of forty-five WPA-Era paintings from the Dijkstra collection. Bruckner’s wooden sculptures further investigate the relationship between human and machine. Barletti’s photographs honor the ones whose perseverance gazes intently upon potential. Chiaro, Munzon, and Mai carry the legacy of family history and tradition. These works reflect on the labor required, and the sacrifices made, in the search for survival and fulfillment.
While confronting the circumstances that cause us to wade in the deep waters of human suffering, these contemporary interpretations bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit and pronounce the hope that has continued to sustain us for generations.

Location: Brown University, 96 Waterman StreetProvidence, RI 02912
Exhibition Dates: September 14, 2023 - August 30, 2024 Opening reception and related programming to be determined
This exhibition speaks on momentum.
The forward movement that comprises of quotidian tasks. The great risks that we take for the monumental breakthroughs. The steady, upward movement that we encounter when we take those small, though impactful, steps of faith. The vitality in a series of choices made to make for a more equitable outcome. As we press forward in heart, in mind, and in hope, we stir a vigor that lends itself to push our heels up and forward.
It is my honor to have been invited to participate in an upcoming exhibit. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the CSREA family at a conference earlier this year, and I am thrilled to be reconnecting with them again.
Thank you, Ellie, Stéphanie and the CSREA Team for the invitation to exhibit!

Southeast Asia and the Littoral (Forthcoming)
Published by Wasafiri Magazine, London, England
Publish date: Winter 2023
I’m very excited about having work published in this special issue of Southeast Asia and the Littoral.
The sea holds history, and the Southeast Asian seas have witnessed mass exodus, carrying immigrants and refugees to neighboring shores. While oceans hold sustenance and the salt that makes all life possible, it also brews tumults that claim lives.
From the editors: Indeed, surrounded by oceans, seas and straits, with its multiple histories of maritime empires and nations, Southeast Asian and Southeast Asian diasporic texts offer new and complex aesthetics and poetics of water bodies, water worlds, and cultures. This collection seeks to add Southeast Asian and Southeast Asian diasporic perspectives to the transnational contexts and conversations of the Oceanic, holding a geographical spread of works that consider the region’s muiltple languages, regions, and nations.

Also joining in the discussion will be Diu-Huong Nguyen, Ph.D., assistant professor of history at UC Irvine and scholar of Vietnamese history, and Jennifer Tran, a fellow Vietnamese artist. Our culture will also be highlighted through an array of traditional Vietnamese dance and musical performances, and sampling of Vietnamese foods.
We hope that you will join us for this event.
A breath of gratitude to Guillermo Molina Jr. for the invitation, and to the staff of Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library for organizing this special event that brings the richness of Vietnamese culture to the City of Long Beach!
Things Adrift: Trinh Mai’s Bone of My Bone as Feminist Refuge-Making Craft
Presented by Kelsey Chen
as part of The Seventh Annual Berkeley/Stanford Symposium: In-Between: Art and Cultural Practices From Here Location: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Phyllis Wattis Theater, Floor 1
Date: Friday, April 28, 2023 10am-5pm
It has been my privilege to have been wandering along side this beautiful soul as we continue on our search for meaning and mending. Kelsey and I met during a workshop that I facilitate for Harvard’s History & Literature department. At that time, she was pursuing her degree in Art History. Four years later, we reconnected on the westside—on Stanford soil for more discussions, activities, and searchings in art practice.
A beautiful soul, empathic writer, intelligent artist, and sensitive spirit, Kelsey’s words pour out upon us like salt water from marrow. I am utterly humbled by the way she peers into our bones, honoring humanity, healing, and our sister Kelly all at once. (Look what you’ve done, Belle. Even after life.)
For this symposium, Kelsey presents this series of works as feminist refuge-making craft, aligning with the continuous discussions that Kelly and I had about art and craft, and the liminal space that refuses a label.
Thank you, Kelsey, for your words and your wisdom, and for keeping her bones alive.

Exhibition dates: January 21, 2023 - April 8, 2023
Members preview: January 27, 2023 5-6pm; 6-8pm full event
For the past few months, I’ve been ruminating on water as both barrier and bridge. So, right on time, I’ve been invited to participate in a group show tilted Under Water, which explores issues around water consumption, pollution, and sea-level rise, but also about how water can act as both a barrier/boundary and as an avenue for connection. Boat Folks has been requested for showing, so after living for years in a private collection, I’m excited to bring her back out to the public.
Also, in regards to under water, have you been introduced to this extraordinary creature?!
Thank you, Amy for the invitation, and to Danny and Carolyn for lending us the work to show!
