Diane Severin Nguyen - IF REVOLUTION IS A SICKNESS
Diane Severin Nguyen is an American artist with Vietnamese roots. In her work she explores the inextricable relationship between popular culture and politics. Her work spans video, performance and photography, with striking images that are as seductive as they are unsettling.
Tenderly There By Tashattot Collective
Who do you consider to be your family? And how do you record your personal history? We all use photography to sketch an image of our family and pass on stories to future generations. For the exhibition ‘Families’ we're diving into the FOMU collection in search of family photos.
