Will Pham and The VLC Band at South London Gallery, 11th April

Join us for New Contemporaries Live on Saturday 11 April, 2-5pm at South London Gallery.

New Contemporaries Live is a dynamic programme of live works featuring Will Pham and The VLC Band alongside other artists including Alia Gargum, Makiko Harris and Christopher Steenson.

Will Pham with The VLC Band:

Pham is a British-Vietnamese artist exploring themes of intergenerational care, displacement and the Vietnamese resettlement experience to the UK. His approach often begins with archival research blending with his own personal memory, to reactivate a sensorial and bodily relation to memory, history and place-making.

The VLC Band are a troupe of musicians primarily from Vietnam, led by Mr Lai. They are based at Centre 151, a Hackney-based community centre set up in 1985, formerly known as the Community Centre for Refugees from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia (VLC). The band members include Dan Tran, Doc Ngo, Thanh Long, Frankie, Hung, Hùng, Quang, Ngọc Nga, Quyen and with special guests including Duy Khiem.
