Info — Anh Dao Ha

Anh Dao is a curator and cultural worker based between New York City and Saigon. She was Assistant Curator at Galerie Quynh (Saigon, Vietnam), where she worked with contemporary artists in Vietnam and the diaspora.

Her curatorial practice centers on affect and embodiment. She examines how personal experiences such as longing, heartbreak, and tenderness shape how knowledge is produced in exhibition-making. In her writing, she draws on autotheory as a form of institutional critique, favoring the raw, confessional register of zine culture and riot grrrl in contrast with critical theory.

Anh Dao holds a BFA in Product/Industrial Design from Parsons School of Design and a BA in Literary Studies from The New School. She was a 2024 Artist in Residence at AIR Hue (Hue, Vietnam), and is an MA candidate in Curatorial Studies at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College (CCS Bard).
