Huong Ngô

Hương Ngô (Huong Ngo, Ngô Ngọc Hương, 吳玉香) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator. Her work attends to refugee epistemologies, expanding concepts of time and knowledge to those that are generational, ecological, ruptured, and reconstructed. Often beginning with research in national and personal archives, she realizes her work through installation, works on paper, and performance. Both archeological and futuristic, her work operates in layers, continuously making and unmaking an unruly archive.

Ngô’s artistic practice has been recognized and exhibited at institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, MCA Chicago, the New Museum in New York, and the Renaissance Society in Chicago, among others. She was awarded the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Grant in Vietnam in 2016 and has been described as "deftly and defiantly decolonial" by New City and "what intersectional feminist art looks like" by the Chicago Tribune. Ngô's achievements also include being a twice awardee of 3Arts (2018 3Arts Award and 2020 3Arts Next Level Visual Arts Award) and being featured in the Prague Biennial in 2005 and Prospect.5 Triennial in 2021.
