Khánh Nguyên Hoàng Vũ [goes by just: Vũ] (pronouns they/he/anh/em) is a queer/trans multidisciplinary artist from Vietnam who currently lives and works in Florida. Through their work, Vũ explores the role that nature, community and spirituality plays in helping humans navigate through the passage of time. Their practice is a manifestation of their belief in the freedom of movement, a luxury, so it seems under the structures that form our reality. Vũ's points of departure are change, grief, spirituality, vietnamese mythology and particularly the bridge between the material and the unseen world. Presently, Vũ is working on exploring different facets of gender expression, specifically what masculinity means to them and archiving familial narratives of pre and post war (Vietnam).
