Visual artists James Nguyen and Victoria Pham on breathing new life into an ancient Vietnamese Bronze Age Đông Sơn drum and connecting to Vietnamese community, history and culture. Nguyen and Pham talk to FCAC Artistic Director, Daniel Santangeli, and curator, Tamsen Hopkinson, on re-engaging with the percussive sounds of an instrument usually kept out of reach behind museum glass cabinets.
Nguyen and Pham are exhibiting at FCAC as part of CONNECT curated by Tamsen Hopkinson from 22 Jan to 21 Feb 2021.
