About
Kiều-Anh Nguyễn is an interdisciplinary artist based in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Her art practice has foregrounded olfaction as the core line of inquiry to explore memory tracing and care practice, as it has taken
the forms of participation, soft sculpture and often suggests travels between time, spaces, and sensory experiences.
Her artistic vision strives to create spaces to address societal norms and foster inclusive conversations while spotlighting
underrepresented bodies and narratives, notably about women.
Her work was exhibited in various spaces, including daadgalerie, VIVA ExCon, Vietnamese Women’s Museum, Asia Art Archive and
documenta fifteen.
She joined ba-bau AIR in 2019 and co-founded ba-bau collective in 2021 with aims to expand and encourage multi-interdisciplinary
practices among local and global groups and individuals through acts of making space and beyond.
In 2023, she founded olfactory archives - where Nguyễn focuses on using olfactory as an alternative form to reexamine archives.
