Drifting to the Rhythms at the Southeast of Nowhere at MAIIAM

February 28

Opening night of Drifting to the Rhythms at the Southeast of Nowhere, a performance by Nguyen + Transitory  at MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum: A repeat performance on Saturday 1 March 2025 at 7pm.

The show reconfigures spaces into musical architectures that merge the spectral resonances of traditional folk and contemporary forms. Their practice explores the transformative potential of sound, not simply as an aesthetic medium, but as a dramaturgical force deeply entwined with cognitive memory, lost histories, and collective experiences within contemporaneity. Rather than dissolving distinctions between folk traditions and contemporary practices, Nguyễn + Transitory create an artistic language born from the friction and productive tension between these disparate forms. Through this dialogue, they allow each tradition to retain its integrity while simultaneously giving rise to something entirely new—an evolving expression that navigates between the past and present without privileging or diminishing either.

A few tickets still available for Saturday 1 March 2025 Register form: https://forms.gle/ANsxFcLGEmZmEAVa7 Tickets available for a donation.
