How do you define “home”? D<\/em>iaCritic Jade Hidle suggests exploring this complex notion through\u00a0<\/i>The Vietnamese American Arts and Letters Association\u2019s (VAALA) new art exhibit, \u201cH\u00f4me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Where we\u2019re from and what home is remain universal inquiries. Literally universal. Astronomers and physicists posit that each of us has stardust in our veins, carrying fragments of our galactic home in our mortal vessels. Yet \u201chome\u201d is, too, rooted in Earthly, concrete realities. In the diaspora, the notion of \u201chome\u201d is shifting. There is, of course, the push-pull between Viet Nam and the various countries of arrival worldwide. But within those new spaces, \u201chome\u201d is, too an often elusive and contested, shuttling through space and time.<\/p>\n

It feels appropriate, then, that the Vietnamese American Arts and Letters Association\u2019s new art exhibit, \u201cH\u00f4me,\u201d is housed in two different places\u2014two homes.<\/p>\n

\"Home\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I first visited the half of the exhibit housed at the VAALA Cultural Center. Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised that, based on the styles of and names attached to the pieces on display, the works chosen by VAALA are not limited to those by artists of Vietnamese heritage; rather, the pieces seem to represent a wide range of cultural and generational backgrounds. The diversity appears to be an effort to generate cross-cultural dialogues and forge connections between us, thereby\u00a0expanding the boundaries of “home” and who is included in it. Addressing the connective thread between the individual pieces, VAALA\u2019s preface to the exhibit explains that the works are united in their dismantling, deconstruction, and reconstruction of home as a The Wizard of Oz<\/em>-like childhood ideal, which often results in finding meaning in chaos and danger where the safety of home was once believed to be. \u201cUltimately,\u201d the banner reads, \u201cevery artist in this show has found a home for him or herself in being an artist, in making art and thereby creating that safe place of comfort and control for themselves\u2014a home within a home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ranging from photographs to paintings to found art installations, the featured works of art approached the diverse manifestations of \u201chome.\u201d Some of these representations were expected. Several images of homelessness and dilapidated structures depict “home” as an absence or as a site of disillusionment and impossibility. Others cast spotlights on mundane objects to capture the contrived, arbitrariness of \u201chome.\u201d Though I wholeheartedly support these artists\u2019 respective challenges to the mythos central to the exhibit\u2019s concept, they did not resonate for me; they seemed to replicate familiar \u201cartsy\u201d takes on complex notions translated into coffee table ideas.<\/p>\n

That said, other pieces were elliptical, interesting, and sometimes haunting. Some of these works displayed \u201chome\u201d as people…<\/p>\n

The exhibit\u2019s other home is in the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, located in the artists\u2019 district of downtown Santa Ana. Given that this half of the exhibit features similar works from the same group of artists, the OCCCA gallery is a better setting in which to view the expressions of \u201chome.\u201d Not only is the lighting natural through the glass garage doors and skylights, and the bathroom oddly comforting in its scent of stale Pez candy, but at a deeper level this area of Santa Ana is an important space in which to meditate upon the meanings of \u201chome.\u201d<\/p>\n

In my experiences of Santa Ana, many neighborhoods are mixed with families of Mexican and Vietnamese descent, and that feels like \u201chome\u201d to me. However, as this was my first time back to the area in over a year, being there reminded me of the death of Kim Pham earlier this year, after an altercation with women of reported Mexican heritage<\/a>. \u00a0The reason the individuals\u2019 ethnicities stand out in my mind is because of the way the incident was reported, often unfairly idealizing the victim and criminalizing the Mexican women. These quick-forgotten histories speak to the complexities of representing the shared spaces of \u201chome\u201d and its residents.<\/p>\n

\"diacritics-donate_header_box_640x120\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the street level, downtown Santa Ana features some of the brick-and-mortared nostalgic view of what many like to believe old American cities are. (\u201cOld\u201d at least for Orange County.) These buildings are an amalgamation of edifices to art and law\u2014artists’ \u00a0lofts adjacent to public offices, all radiating out from the county courthouse at the center. Encounters between art and law, expression and regulation, are particularly important because Santa Ana has a large Mexican American and Chicano\/a community. Given the ongoing protests regarding immigration of primarily Central American women and children at the detention center in Murrieta<\/a>\u00a0and other locations along the U.S.-Mexico border, \u201chome\u201d is for many a politically charged terrain where survival, dignity, recognition, and inclusion are a fight. In this context, VAALA\u2019s dual exhibits point to the importance of how art will engage in these larger social discussions, as a method of education and resistance. Ultimately, meditating on \u201chome\u201d in this setting raises the questions: How are Americans representing \u201chome\u201d? Who is considered to be \u201chome\u201d and who is not? What do you want your \u201chome\u201d to look like and what kind of \u201chome\u201d lies in our collective future?<\/p>\n

The free \u201cH\u00f4me\u201d exhibit only runs until July 26th<\/sup>, but VAALA has upcoming events of note for local diacritics readers. On August 17th<\/sup>, actor Trieu Tran, who recently played Joey Phan on HBO\u2019s The Newsroom<\/em>, is doing a one-man show called Trieu Tran Unplugged<\/em> based on his experiences fleeing Sai Gon and making it in Hollywood. In September, VAALA will put on Romeo and Juliet<\/em>, as well as the art-based Children\u2019s Moon Festival. Check out VAALA\u2019s website<\/a> for more info.<\/p>\n
