50 Years Of My Family’s Joy

2025 marks the 50-year anniversary of my family’s migration to America from Vietnam. Our resiliency reveals itself through joy, play and care, a counternarrative to war. I’m working with archival family footage from 1985 to 2001, captured by my father Peter Tuyen Quang Le. The video work will show vignettes of family joy within a soundscape of diegetic sounds and music. Here is a clip of the proudest moment of my childhood.

COMMISSION REVIEW

“Anthony Le was great to work with on a custom commission. I wanted a colorful and joyful drawing of a culturally significant and inspirational figure to hang in my son’s room. Our family will absolutely cherish this piece.
