Cẩm-Anh Lương is a Vietnamese visual artist and multidisciplinary designer currently based in Berlin.
Her work focuses on collective storytelling and immersive media, implementing storytelling as a strategy to investigate forgotten memories that result from the impacts of western colonization, the propaganda of the regimes, and stereotypes that have been imprinted on an East Asian body.
Through performance, video, sound, and installation, she creates immersive environments that enable the audience to connect with the work in a tactile, sensory sense – and examines how dominant narratives shape how we see the world, and how we can propose alternative narratives that empower marginalized communities.
She has collaborated with a variety of collectives and initiatives, including neue nachbarschaft moabit, menseer_projekt and *foundationClass*collective to investigate the intersection of media art, technology, and social justice.
Cẩm-Anh's work has been shown in performance for the Berlin Biennale (2018), feldfünf Projekträum (2019), nGbK (2021), Vorspiel Berlin (2022 & 2023) and documenta-fifteen (2022).
