***
Visual artist and writer Tammy Nguyen, whose drawings are currently on exhibit at Central Library, speaks on her work in the studio and her newly published book, O, (Ugly Duckling Presse), an experimental novella that "sounds the depths of personal, mineral, and geopolitical histories of Vietnam." Nguyen will share how she moves among the various dimensions of her creative process, from text to image, publishing to printmaking, all the while threading together images and stories that slip across cultures and genres.
Following her presentation, Nguyen will be in conversation with celebrated artist and writer Christopher Myers as they discuss the questions of memory, place and the multvalent form of the book. Nguyen and Myers met in Vietnam.
