HCM CITY – Two solo exhibitions of artists Hương Ngô and Thy Nguyễn will open at the Factory Contemporary Arts Centre on June 19.

Hương’s exhibition “Lost from View” includes paintings featuring the role and perception of women, and how history remembers and values their contribution. Her works are inspired by the life of Communist leader Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai (1910-1941).

Thy’s “Other Futures” showcases printmakings, depicting faint memories and shadows of people, objects and events.

The exhibitions’ opening ceremony will begin at 6pm at 15 Nguyễn Ư Dĩ Street in District 2. The works will be on view until October 4. Entrance is free. VNS
