Thái Hà is a curator, writer and translator based in Saigon, Vietnam. Her practice looks to the liberating potential of language, freely borrowing from different literary genres to give textual and verbal form to artists’ work. She designs her curatorial texts as objects that invite alternative modes of exhibition viewing. Her latest projects explore how adventure and fantasy genres were used as literary loopholes to circulate revolutionary thought in colonial Vietnam. In 2022, Hà joined Nguyen Art Foundation as part of a new management team leading its acquisition strategies, exhibitions curation, and building local and international networks of artists and collaborators. Her work has been covered by Frieze, Artforum, and Al Jazeera, and her translations appear in publications from the Tate St Ives, Carnegie Museum of Art, and Asian Art Biennal, among others. Hà was selected as a resident at UNIDEE, Cittadellarte–Fondazione Pistoletto and for the 12th Berlin Biennale Curator’s Workshop.
She holds an MA in Contemporary Art and Art Theory of Asia and Africa from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and a BSc in Psychology and Language Sciences from University College London (UCL).
