SUMMARY:Holding Sacred: Artist Talk with Antonius-Tín Bui
DESCRIPTION:Explore the intricate\, hand-cut portraiture of Antonius-Tín Bui\, whose practice holds sacred the rituals of making\, memory\, and identity. \nDrawing from their Vietnamese heritage\, queer experience\, and community storytelling\, Bui transforms paper into intimate monuments that honor the complexity of diaspora and the fluidity of self. \nAbout Antonius-Tín Bui\nAntonius-Tín Bui is a polydisciplinary artist and shapeshifter invested in the transformative potential of improvisation\, portraiture\, craft\, and ritual. A monsoon in a past life\, they see themself most in movement—in wind\, in the shifting blues of the sky\, in the quiet sway between presence and disappearance. \nThe child of Paul and Van Bui\, two Vietnamese refugees who carved futures from grief and grit\, Antonius-Tín carries their legacy in every gesture. Their work honors the spectral\, the tender\, and the unruly—crafting portals for what cannot be named\, only felt\, only danced with ancestral shadow. \n\nHolding Sacred: Artist Talk with Antonius-Tín Bui is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nArtist-in-Resident Antonius-Tín Bui is supported in part by the John and Robyn Horn Foundation. \nPhoto by Caroline Xia.
