About
Nguyễn Hoàng Gia Bảo (Bảo) is a Vietnamese multidisciplinary artist and poet whose works often begin with a sentence, a question, or a playful provocation. He moves poetry through text, sound, moving image, and performance to see how an idea changes as it passes from one form, body, or person to another. Sometimes it survives. Sometimes it mutates, contradicts itself, or forgets where it came from.
His practice draws from memories, internet culture, journalism, and popular media. Humour, misremembering, imitation, and deliberate distortion are part of how he works. Bảo often invites audiences into the structure of a work. As you read this so-called biography, perhaps the work has already started.
His work and writing have been presented by institutions and platforms including RMIT University, Bard College, Radiophrenia, Maldito Festival, and Mekong Cultural Hub. He holds a BA in Art and Media Studies from Fulbright University Vietnam. In 2025, he independently published his debut poetry chapbook, Mai Táng Tuổi Thơ / Childhood Eulogy.
