In advance of We Exist in the Ambivalence of Those Motherfuckers at Performance Space New York (January–February 2026)—a residency bringing together artists from Vietnam to create new performance works—curator, art historian, and researcher Đỗ Tường Linh presents a special screening and discussion tracing the early history of performance and experimental art in Vietnam on Sunday, November 16 at 4pm.

Following the screening, Đỗ will be joined by Lumi Tan, Anh Vo, and maura nguyễn donohue for a conversation situating these early gestures of defiance within the broader trajectory of contemporary performance art in Vietnam—bridging historical acts of self-determination and today’s strategies of visibility.
