Hằng Hằng

Hằng Hằng (b.1995, Hanoi) is a visual artist, performance maker and scenographer working between Vietnam and Europe. Her work reexamines micro-history and family archives through sensual memories. Navigating between documentary and imagined landscapes, she creates immersive spaces and environments where reality, dreams, and magic converge.

Informed by her scenographic practice, Hằng Hằng seeks a holistic approach to art. She emphasizes the importance of site-specific work and the pivotal moment of encounter between the audience, the artwork, and the space—where personal and collective histories are central. 

In 2018, Hằng Hằng founded the Phu Lang Sa Collective, a community of emerging Vietnamese artists in Europe dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary exchange and transcending geographical boundaries. In 2022, she contributed to the design of a permanent exhibition for Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám – the Temple of Literature in Hanoi. Her works have been featured at the Théâtre de l’Aquarium in Paris, Poush in Aubervilliers, Linden Museum in Stuttgart, Galerie Bao in Paris, and at Documenta 15 as part of the “emerging artists” program of Nhà Sàn Collective in Hanoi.

In 2023, she participated in Common Stories, a mobile laboratory exploring diversity in European performing arts, held at Theater MC93 in Bobigny, Riksteatern in Stockholm, Festival D-Caf in Cairo, and Festival Alkantara in Lisbon. In 2024, she developed her performance At the Pond’s Edge at A Turma in Porto, Carré Arrondi at Theater MC93 and Doc Paris.
