Writer Vusumzi Nkomo highlights the solo exhibition The Other Side of Now by Tuan Andrew Nguyen, on view at Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town, South Africa. This exhibition presents films, sculptures, tapestry, and archival family photographs. Engaging with the transnational complexities left in the wake of colonial violence, it addresses the quieter narratives within Vietnamese, Senegalese, and Moroccan histories.
