James Nguyen: SÔNG SỐNG SONG

FCMG is proud to present James Nguyen's new solo exhibition SÔNG SỐNG SONG which examines the lingering effects of the chemical Agent Orange and its presence in the Parramatta River. Before migrating to Western Sydney, Nguyen's family plantation in Bảo Lộc, Vietnam was sprayed with the toxin in 1968. SÔNG SỐNG SONG brings together works created in collaboration with Nguyen's family, including a largescale installation of shirts washed in the Parramatta River, alongside a video featuring Nguyen's mother and local Vietnamese aunties singing survival songs by the river's banks.
