Artist Howard Tran discusses his experience as a Chinese Vietnamese American immigrant, his art process, and the stories behind his work with Tiffany Demmon, the Samek Art Museum’s Public Programs and Outreach Manager. Visit the exhibition, Howard Tran: Tổ Tiên, at our Downtown Gallery located at 416 Market Street Lewisburg, PA 17837 from June 30 – October 10.
Tran’s artwork traces his journey as a Chinese Vietnamese American immigrant. “Tổ Tiên” translates to “ancestor” in English, and Tran’s sculptures and collages make visible the cultural and genealogical connections between people seemingly separated by oceans and by generations.
