Meet Hien Hoang – solo artist 2022 under the Framing Identity category

“I want to talk about the clichés and stereotypes about Asian people in the West using food as the output. I think food is a very powerful medium, and it says a lot about our country, our heritage, our identity, our memories.”

Meet Hien Hoang! The artist behind the Festival Center exhibition ‘Asia Bistro – Made in Rice’⁠.

The Vietnamese artist won our open call in the Framing Identity category this year with her project. ⁠We were very happy to have her here for the opening of the exhibition at Refshaleøen last week. Here she gives an introduction to herself and her amazing exhibition, work and practice!⁠

Hien’s exhibition is open until June 12 at the Festival Center.
