SUMMARY:Other:DJ and Donuts Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss the dance party of the century at the Institute for Humanities! DJ Hunny will lead the celebration of Phung Huynh’s evocative artwork. Huynh explores the intersections of traditional Cambodian dance\, the immigrant experience\, doughnut shops\, and so much more. Whether you are chit-chatting with the artist herself\, exploring the gallery\, or simply feeling the music\, you’re guaranteed a wonderful evening. Bring yourself and a friend to dance the night away. Donuts and drinks will be provided\, and please register on Sessions at https://myumi.ch/kP4EQ.\n\nIn conjunction with the exhibition *Angkorian Homecoming*\, on view at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery March 20 - May 2\, 2025\, this dance party hosted by the Public Humanities Interns features DJ Hunny and artist Phung Huynh. DJ Hunny will serve as emcee for the event\, which will highlight how Cambodian communities celebrate through Romvong and music.\n\nHunny Hach is a second-generation Cambodian-American who was born in San Diego\, California and raised in Long Beach. Known to many by her stage name\, DJ Hunny\, she is a local artist who is also an active member of the Cambodian community. Hach has dj’d at many venues from Hollywood\, LA\, Orange County\, and Cambodia. Through her civic engagement she has worked with many grassroots organizations both locally and internationally to bridge the generation gap and to preserve Cambodian arts\, culture\, and history.\n\nPhung Huynh is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator with a practice in drawing\, painting\, public art\, and community engagement. Huynh’s work explores cultural perception and representation. She challenges beauty standards by constructing images of the Asian female body vis-à-vis plastic surgery to unpack how contemporary cosmetic surgery can whitewash cultural and racial identity. Her work of drawings and prints on pink donut boxes explores the complexities of assimilation and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. Huynh’s most recent work addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian statues in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.
