Artist-in-Residence Finale Celebration: Vuth Lyno
Sunday, April 13, 2025
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Free. Registration required.
Conference Room and Studio 101 (Higgins Education Wing)
Join artist-in-residence Vuth Lyno for a send-off celebration marking the conclusion of his three-month residency at the Worcester Art Museum. Vuth will give a short talk about his time in Worcester, followed by a tour of his studio to view art made while at the Museum. In collaboration with the Southeast Asian Coalition of Central Massachusetts (SEACMA), Vuth has been working with members of Worcester’s Southeast Asian immigrant communities to create Our Spirits, a poetic sea-inspired installation that explores the struggle, strength, and resilience in their immigrant journeys.
Vuth Lyno is a Cambodian artist, curator, and educator in residence at the Worcester Art Museum as part of the Southeast Asian Artist-in-Residence program. Vuth’s art often engages with micro and overlooked histories, notions of community, place-making, and the production of social relations. He works across various media, including photography, video, sculpture, light, and sound.
During his residency, Vuth has met with various community members to research the notions of “home” held by Cambodian and Southeast Asian communities in our region.
THANK YOU.
