“Phung Huynh: Pink Donut Boxes” explores the lived experiences of Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees resettled in Southern California, home to one of the largest Southeast Asian refugee populations in the world. In these works, Huynh transforms the pink donut box—a cultural icon in Southern California—into a powerful signifier of survival, resilience, and collective memory, using it as a backdrop to delicate portraits of the artist, her parents, and other members of the refugee community.
Phung Huynh: Pink Donut Boxes is presented in conjunction with the exhibition “Against Monoculture”, which explores intersections of art and activism in relation to food justice.
