Episode 2: Take that Token and Run, with Phung Huynh
Welcome Phung Huynh to the art workers podcast! Huynh is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator with a practice in drawing, painting, public art, and community engagement. Her work explores cultural perception and representation. Huynh challenges beauty standards by constructing images of the Asian female body vis-à-vis plastic surgery to unpack how contemporary cosmetic surgery can whitewash cultural and racial identity. Her work of drawings and prints on pink donut boxes explores the complexities of assimilation and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States.
In this episode she talks about how as an artist she is uncompromising, and how she deals with tokenism and how she hopes her art will create a legacy for story, family and for future generations.
