The word Nhớ is a metaphor for how a person living in the diaspora creates his own story composed of memories and various longings for home. Curators Kvet Nguyen and Denisa Tomková prepared the first art exhibition of the Vietnamese diaspora in Slovakia. They encourage us to think about the fact that Slovakia is much more multicultural and diverse than we often think. This international group exhibition is a sensory space and an invitation to dialogue, where personal memories can be shared and (re)discovered.
