The Unboxing Experience. Phase 2: Resonating Voices, Closing Event and Neuss Culture Night: Food Performance by Thi My Lien Nguyen

, Clemens Sels Museum Neuss

Closing Event and Neuss Culture Night, 5:00 ans 9:00 pm: curators' tour with Lara Bader and Marlene Kurz, 8:00 pm: food performance &video screening by Thi My Lien Nguyen.

To close the exhibition The Unboxing Experience. Phase 2: Resonating Voices and as part of Neuss Culture Night, Thi My Lien Nguyen will present her video work Bellies to Fill (2023) and bring the space to life with a live food performance engaging all the senses. Her works take up central exhibition themes – care, memory, and cultural appropriation in the domestic context. How is home experienced, remembered, constructed – and who does it belong to? In both video and performance, the artist negotiates the home as a space of feminine experience, intergenerational care, and cultural negotiation. The private becomes political: the kitchen and dining table turn into places of memory, resistance, and collective belonging.
