Christian Việt Đinh’s body of work centers on his experience as a second-generation Vietnamese-American citizen and the Vietnamese culture that developed in the United States subsequent to the Vietnam War. His artwork redirects stigma and celebrates Vietnamese-American identity by confronting racism, stereotypes, and underrepresentation.
Đinh received a BFA from the University of West Florida, Pensacola in 2017 and an MFA from Tulane University in 2022. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including Focus Spotlight: Nail Salon and Knowing Who We Are: The Contemporary Dialogue at Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, LA; Delta Triennial Exhibition at Arkansas Museum of Fine Art, Little Rock, AR; Legacy Traces: Recent Additions to the Museum Collection at the Newcomb Art Museum, New Orleans, LA; and Trường Ca Mươi Ngàn Năm at the Ohr-O’Keefe Museum of Art, Biloxi, MS. Furthermore, he was a recipient of the 2023 Take Notice Fund from the National Performance Network. Đinh’s work has been featured in PBS Newshour, The New York Times, Ceramic Monthly, The Times Picayune, Frieze Magazine, and Burnaway.
