It Was Her Handwriting That Gave Her Away

It Was Her Handwriting That Gave Her Away

Invisible ink on paper, Framed relief prints with graphite, light box with printed dura trans, custom teak vitrine, laser cut onion-skin paper, books, Xerox with graphite.
2020

This installation holds tension between an intersectional Marxist and anti-Fascist theoretical text “Vấn đề phụ nữ” about motherhood, attributed to Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai, and letters written between her and other women in the anticolonial movement about their lived realities of sex, pregnancy, and being a women within a male-dominated revolution.

Installation view at the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago for the exhibition Nine Lives, Photo: Useful Art Services.
