Self-portrait study of Alfred Steigletz’s “Sun Rays — Paula Berlin” (1889).

Alyvia Luong is an interdisciplinary artist and model based in Chicago. She has amassed a total of 48 accolades throughout high school — 6 of which are national awards/recognitions from Scholastic Art & Writing and YoungArts. In addition, she has been published in numerous magazines, catalogs, and anthologies and interviewed by NPR, VoyageHouston, etc.

Luong is currently working to bridge installation/sculpture, photo/film, sound, textile art, and 2D media within her art practice. Through these mediums, she aims to build a larger artistic vocabulary to address the complexities of the Southeast Asian Diaspora and Vietnamese-American identity. Simultaneously, she is also exploring human connection/interaction and its ability to encourage dialogue on concurrent social issues, as well as its application in remembering forgotten and untold diasporic narratives.
