Lucy Nguyễn-Hunt is an emerging Vietnamese, Sāmoan and Rarotongan artist currently based in naarm Melbourne. Her practice examines her place within an intersection of rich and deep cultural histories, whilst situated in Australia, carrying its own fraught and violent history. She observes these intergenerational ties through moving image, photography, lighting, poetics and sound. Interested in the persistence of cultural memory in spite of separation, Lucy uses her practice as a means of community connection to resist colonial erasure.
Lucy graduated with First Class Honours in Fine Arts at Monash University in 2022 after completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Queensland University of Technology. She is currently completing the Foundations in Synthesis course at Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS). She exhibited at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, The Immigration Museum in partnership with Midsumma Festival, and Somos Art Berlin, to name a few. She works as an artwork installer and audio visual technician for the University of Melbourne’s Museums and Collections.
