Works by Mylan Nguyen
Exhibition Statement:
Brujita Daydream exhibiting at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center features a
range of ceramics, paintings, and installation work in which artist Mylan Nguyen explores
her interest in curanderx practices, mysticism, and self made healing rituals through the
lens of her Mexican/Vietnamese American upbringing. Inspired by the Mexican tradition of
Curanderx (traditional natural healers) that perform cleansing rituals called limpias for
purification in order to clear and make way for transformation, renewal, and rebirth this
work is intended to bring moments of healing, introspection, joy, and connection to nature.
