Poster for Peace
by Van Huynh Company
Poster for Peace is a three-hour durational performance installation by choreographer Dam Van Huynh, bringing together contemporary dance, visual arts and sound to create a space to gather and think about peace.
Drawing on his own experience of displacement and research undertaken during the Robert Rauschenberg Residency in 2025, Van Huynh invites audiences to take part in an act of collective meditation. Featuring a large-scale physical installation with a real parachute, the work explores the importance of community, dialogue and our shared ability to connect.
Audiences are welcome to come and go freely. If the space reaches full capacity, visitors may be asked to wait until space becomes available.

His working methodology combines a multitude of performative practices, drawing inspiration from voice, sound art and performance art. At the core of his practice is a reflection on his lived experience, from being a child refugee of the Vietnam War to the artist he has become today. Embedded in questions of migration and collective action, his work adopts a critical stance on contemporary issues, challenging systems of power and inequalities through movement and sound.
