The Museum of The Home is launching a new contemporary art exhibition called No Place Like Home (A Vietnamese Exhibition) Part II"this month. The exhibition showcases works by Vietnamese diasporic artists exploring the theme of home through the lens of Vietnamese culture.

The Museum of the Home, situated in the heart of the Vietnamese community on Kingsland Road, unveils its latest commission - a contemporary art exhibition entitled No Place Like Home (A Vietnamese Exhibition) Part II. Co-curated by KV Duong and Hoa Dung Clerget, this collaborative exhibition features a group of talented Vietnamese diasporic artists who delve into the theme of home through the Vietnamese cultural lens.At the heart of this exhibition lies the significance of immigrant family meals as pivotal moments of connection and cultural transmission. Traditional foods are intrinsically intertwined with memory, identity and belonging - both in the places where parents have settled and on a transnational scale, as a reminder of Vietnam.

Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a striking urban landscape installation constructed from Vietnamese plastic stools, designed to highlight the psychogeography of migrant populations. The main room boasts object-based works on a low white table, inviting viewers to sit on bamboo carpets and engage with the art. The fluid, curvilinear shape of the table intentionally breaks from the traditional administrative and patriarchal table, fostering dynamic interaction with the objects and each other. The table facilitates the transmission of knowledge, experiences and self-gifts for the artistic voices of marginalised second-gen immigrants.

Date: 19 April – 11 July 2023. Location: Museum of the Home, 136 Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA. Price: Free.
