Starting on Tuesday, August 12th, Vietnam-based artist Linh San will begin a residency in the Nishinari area.
In addition to the site-specific residency at Cafe Atariya, the artist will be working in the Nishinari area for approximately two months until the end of the art festival, including collaborative projects with the local community. A variety of programs are planned for the artist's stay, including talk events, film screenings, and open studios.

Linh San

Linh San is a multidisciplinary artist based in Viet Nam. Linh holds a bachelor's degree in Literature from the Hanoi National University of Education and her practice spans poetry, moving images, and ceramics. In her work, she depicts poetic, plain, and contemplative moments from daily life.
Linh’s literary works often take the form of prose poetry, very much a reflection of her way of thinking—a stream of thoughts and mental images gushing through terrains of narratives and emotions connected via imaginative links. Linh’s poems have appeared in The Margins, Poetry Translation Centre, and various anthologies. Her short films have been screened at Hanoi Goethe-Institut, Thai Nguyen University, and the National Museum of Indonesia, among other places. In 2022, Linh San presented her first solo exhibition, titled “no longer holding a cloud”, at Á Space, Hanoi. She explores ceramics as a dialogue between the artist and the material, pushing its boundaries beyond traditional forms. Her ceramics practice examines the potential of clay, its fusion with other materials and its relationship with the transforming landscapes of craft and matter. She received Prince Claus Seed Awards in 2023 as an emerging artist.
