SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:\"Angkorian Homecoming\" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery for the opening of Phung Huynh's exhibition *Angkorian Homecoming *immediately following her Penny Stamps Lecture at the Michigan Theater. The opening reception will also feature a brief Cambodian classical dance performance by Mea Lath and the Modern Apsara Company.\n\nAbout the exhibition:\n\nInformed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.
