Art Curation
Giang’s curatorial practices revolve around three key themes. First, she focuses on selecting and evaluating Vietnamese contemporary artists whose practices contribute to the historical narrative of Vietnam’s art while fostering decolonial connections with global art movements. Second, she manages and develops the Zanga Arts Space Collection, which comprises three sections: Vietnam contemporary art; Ly - Tran - Le Dynasty (11th-15th century) ceramics; and Asian contemporary art using traditional materials and methods like paper, ceramics, and silk. Finally, her curatorial projects double as educational tools, empowering local artists and audiences to deepen their understanding of art and its cultural significance.


Art collecting
Pham Thi Diep Giang’s art collecting practice emphasizes Vietnam contemporary art, antique ceramics from Vietnam’s Ly, Tran, and Le dynasties, and Asian contemporary art created with traditional materials like paper, ceramics, and silk. Her collection serves as a tool for decolonizing art practices by reclaiming cultural narratives and highlighting indigenous techniques. By bridging Vietnam’s artistic heritage with contemporary expressions, Giang fosters a dialogue between tradition and innovation, contributing to a global understanding of Vietnam’s unique artistic legacy and its place in decolonial art discourse.
