“The year is XXXX” explores how adventure is used to invent fantastical fictions of foreign lands and as a strategy of escape from colonial subjugation.

What sets this exhibition apart is its continuously evolving nature. Unlike conventional exhibitions curated by a single curator, every six weeks, within an open space at EMASI Van Phuc, guest curators from around the world such as Bill Nguyen, Joud Al-Tamimi, Sofia Thieu D’Amico, and Denise Lai will take turns curating works from Nguyen Art Foundation’s collection, offering new visual interpretations that further expand the protagonist’s adventure. From that, the exhibition invites audiences to explore how places assert their presence through their rhythms, transcending the fictional projections of outsiders.
