The exhibition brings together generations of artists from the Vietnamese diaspora in France, exploring memories of Vietnam shaped by migration, exile and inheritance. Through diverse media, their works move between personal histories and collective narratives, questioning ideas of origin, belonging and return. Đoàn Tụ, the third chapter of a project initiated by Lune rougissante, proposes a shifting portrait of Vietnam beyond geographical borders.

Richie Nath was born twice: once in Yangon, and again in Paris. Since leaving Myanmar in the aftermath of the 2021 coup, he has come to understand what it means to both produce and undo himself. The displacement opened a distance from his mother, one he had not known before, though her presence continues to structure his sense of self.
As the emotional and hierarchical order between mother and son began to fracture, the possibility of self-recognition emerged. His first self-portrait Where Are You?, painted in 2023, does not resolve this rupture but marks its beginning. In this first solo exhibition in Paris, An Oyster Without a Pearl, the artist explores identity, migration, and his complex relationship with his mother through painting drawings and mis-en-scène.
Hà My Nguyễn transforms the gallery into a ceramic garden of mystical, hybrid plants. Her delicate sculptures, inspired by marginalised botanical knowledges and the resilience of femininity, invite viewers into a world where nature and imagination intertwine.

Galerie Bao is presenting in collaboration with the galerie frank elbaz in Paris, the exhibition Re:form - A Glimpse of Abstraction in Vietnam since Đổi Mới. Structured around this spirit of freedom, it traces the practices of five artists from Vietnam, who, since Đổi Mới, have returned to abstraction while breaking away from its earlier conventions.
The duo exhibition by Huỳnh Công Nhớ and Pecut Sumantri, presented in collaboration with RUCI Arts Space (Jakarta), explores faith, belief, and the human condition through scenes of everyday life. Moving between stark realism and dreamlike abstraction, the exhibition brings together painting and cinematic sensibilities to reveal moments where the ordinary slips into quiet unreality. Rooted in Southeast Asian contemporary art, the works reflect on living, believing, and persisting in an age marked by uncertainty and precarity.

In her first solo exhibition in Paris, Thủy Tiên Nguyễn reimagines Paris By Night, the legendary entertainment show created for Vietnamese audiences across the diaspora. Through kinetic glass sculptures, the artist approaches this cultural phenomenon as a space where memory, spectacle and collective imagination converge. Moving between personal inheritance and shared mythology, the exhibition considers how images of Vietnam circulate beyond its geographical borders.
