Art Installation Performance and Viewing


Multimedia artist Ngoc-Tran Vu, one of two Studio 170 artists-in-resident in 2025, develops and presents a body of work that experiments with ideas for her project "Journey of Light: A 1975 Memory Field" which will take place in Dorcester in April.


Journey of Light: A 1975 Memory Field is a temporary public art installation and community engagement series in Dorchester that honors the resilience and contributions of Boston’s Vietnamese-American community while addressing the enduring legacy of the War in Vietnam. Rooted in Vietnamese cultural traditions and shaped by local narratives and cultural narratives, the project creates a space for reflection, connection, and dialogue, fostering a deeper understanding of migration, displacement, and community resilience toward the long-term vision of the 1975: A Vietnamese Diaspora Memorial.


Ngoc-Tran Vu (she/her) is a 1.5-generation Vietnamese-American multimedia artist, cultural organizer, and advocate based in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood. Her socially engaged art practice weaves together photography, painting, sculpture, and installation to explore themes of diaspora, memory, and healing. Deeply rooted in her Vietnamese heritage and community, Ngoc-Tran’s work amplifies underrepresented voices and fosters connections across generations. She is dedicated to creating collaborative and reflective spaces that honor resilience, cultural identity, and social justice.
