Her long-term project depicts the lives of young women in this strongly patriarchal and impoverished minority group where girls frequently marry before the legal age of 18, bear children soon after, and shoulder the bulk of domestic labour and childcare.This exhibition showcases a deep dive into the life of one of Nhàn Tran's subjects, Máy, depicting her resilience and precarity as she raises a family at the age of 19. Nhàn Tran shared: "Máy's story represents the young Hmong generation which is attempting to approach modernity within their traditions. In both her personal and work life, she is trying to reduce her disparity with people from other communities in Vietnam."*About The Black Dog Which Causes Cholera and the Two Memorials of Plague by Jim Lumbera, and Joey SinghFilmmaking duo Jim Lumbera and Joey Singh from the Philippines present a documentary project tracing an oral account from a colonial archive of a folk belief that "a black dog ran down the street" and caused the great cholera epidemic during the Philippine-American War.From the empty streets of Metro Manila locked down during Covid-19, to the Province of Batangas where the artists bore witness to locals' oral histories and deep memories of plagues past and present, The Black Dog Which Causes Cholera and the Two Memorials of Plague is a visual archive of photographs that sensitively rearticulates local narratives, honouring the illegibility of local knowledge to outsiders through a soft, dreamlike gaze in contrast to the fixed gaze of colonial-era photographs.
