All Levels Welcome! Song Song (Parallel Play) opens as a playground in which the participants are invited to reconnect with their senses via photography. In this workshop, photography will be re-introduced as a balance between its intimacy and detachment, of pre-mediation and immediacy, of fun/action and stillness/strangeness through practices (but more like play). Participants will be able to take prints home.

In Vietnamese, song means "at the same time" or "parallel." It goes with what the workshop is about: creating art/working alongside someone else. In math, song song means they are always at the same time, on the same length, but never meet. A connection. This workshop may bring us all the way back to when we were kids, to when we were able to play alongside someone without even knowing their name.

Nu (they/them) is a photographer/exhibition producer. They co-founded Vănguard zine and Chaosdowntown Cháo art space to promote the art of Vietnamese artists. Their vision is to maintain the diverse discourse on the subject of art and mental health. They actively work on various ways to promote healing within the Vietnamese diaspora. Their photography is spontaneous and intimate, to the interpretations of your own.
