Video: Featured Artist Tiffany Chung Shares Insights into Her Practice

Contemporary artist Tiffany Chung's work on Syria and broader global issues related to ongoing legacies of colonialism was featured in our recent exhibition New Cartographies. Chung was interviewed at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, in Den Mark, about her art practice. In this brief interview, she focuses on her work with refugees and issues of migration and cultural memory. "I don't give answers in my work," Chung says. "But I would challenge the viewer in terms of questioning what the story really is, whether there is truth to it or if there are other possibilities of what the story could be."
