Vân Đỗ is a curator and writer whose practice examines the politics of site and historiography through performance in Southeast Asia. She approaches space as both medium and method, working across architecture, archives, fieldwork, and performance to produce alternative readings of historical narratives, while fostering independent and experimental communities through curatorial research and regional engagement.
Based between Thailand and Vietnam, she is a curator at deCentral, a social enterprise for the arts set to open in 2027 in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and a member of the Curatorial Board at Á Space, an experimental, curator-run space in Hanoi. Her curatorial projects include Monsoon School (Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai, 2026); Phụ Lục Project (2025–ongoing); Hanoi Children’s Palace (Hanoi/Shanghai, 2024/2026); White Noise (Nguyễn Art Foundation, Ho Chi Minh City, 2023); Vy Trịnh: Overvoltage (Gia Lâm Train Factory, Hanoi, 2023); IN:ACT 2022 (Red River, Kassel/Hanoi, 2022); and Vietnam Curatorial Conference (Hanoi, 2024–ongoing). Her writing has appeared in post MoMA, Art & Market, NUS Press, and Movement Research Performance Journal, among others.
