Presented by Dogma and Đà Nẵng based art collective A Sông, miền trung dung / precious forest engages with the greater region of Đà Nẵng, a complex land with rich natural resources, cultures, and worldviews. In recent years, rampant development and touristification has reshaped the lives of all who inhabit the region—from the Katu people of the western mountains to the Kinh of the coastal city center.

This exhibition takes its name from the Confucian concept of trung dung, or the doctrine of the Mean: trung (中), the state of being in the middle, and dung (庸), steadiness, or the capacity to maintain balance in life. As a curatorial framework, trung dung does not describe neutrality but the ability to multiple perspectives—from those with different stakes and positions—on ecological and cultural preservation.

Featuring Trần Tuấn, Ly Hoàng Ly, Phạm Bá Lĩnh, Nguyễn Ngọc Hải, Đoàn Hồng Lê, and Nguyễn Đình Phương; Katu artisans Alăng Blêu, Bh’ríu Pố, Bh’ríu Toàn, and Ating Nga; and archival wartime field sketches from Dogma Collection.

In collaboration with Toom Sara Đà Nẵng.
