Tra My Nguyễn

Tra My Nguyễn, (b. 1992, Hanoi, Vietnam) is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, moving image, installation, and textiles. Her practice recontextualises material culture through a diasporic lens, investigating the intersections of the body with power structures and histories of resilience, agency, and transformation. Deploying speculative narratives, her work explores themes of embodiment and commodification within a globalised framework.

Nguyen’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at Bundeskunsthalle Bonn (DE), Bienalsur (AR), VCCA Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VN), and the State of Fashion Biennale (NL). She has presented solo and duo exhibitions at Grotto (Berlin) and Human Resources (Los Angeles), among others. In 2020, she received the Fashion Position Jury Prize and is currently participating in the BPA// Berlin program for artists.
