Galerie Bao welcomes you to a Dưỡng Sinh shampoo workshop with artist Hà My Nguyễn, as part of the exhibition Flesh and Leaf, Sap and Seed, on Saturday, April 25 from 2pm.
One body lies down.
Another touches.
Warm water. Plants. Time.
The artist will wash your hair using traditional Vietnamese infusions — bồ kết, pomelo peels, ginger, lemon, lemongrass — releasing scents, warmth, and a form of wordless memory.
These gestures do more than cleanse.
They activate.
The scalp, often neglected, becomes here a sensitive territory: a site where tensions, memories, and rhythms accumulate. Through touch, slowness, and attentive presence, the artist engages in conversation with you — about her practice, her research, and the circulations between body, care, and heritage.
Each session is an encounter.
Practical information:
📍 49 avenue Parmentier, Paris 11th
📅 Saturday, April 25 from 2pm
Individual sessions of 20–25 minutes, followed by hot tea and a guided tour of the exhibition (15 minutes).
An invitation to slow down, to feel, and to let emerge what circulates between hands, plants, and stories.
