February 6,  2026

Hồng-Ân Trương is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores immigrant, refugee, and decolonial narratives and subjectivities. Using video, photography and sound, her work interrogates the narrative paradigms of media forms, and how they shape what we come to know about political and historical events. Her work was included in Prospect.4: The Lotus in Spite of the Swamp (New Orleans) and has been exhibited at the Nasher Museum of Art (NC), The Kitchen (NY), Nhà Sàn (Hanoi), and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin), among other places. She has been a Guggenheim Fellow (2019-2020), the Capp St. Artist in Residence at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art (2020), and a MacDowell Residency Herb Alpert Fellow (2022). Hồng-Ân lives in Durham, North Carolina where she is an organizer and teaches in the Department of Art & Art History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
