The Blaffer Museum at the University of Houston is hosting the first major institutional exhibition by an art collective out of LA that's dedicated to elevating the Vietnamese voice on the international arts and culture scene. They're called

The Propeller Group, and their art is anchored in Vietnam's past and present, making the exhibition especially relevant to Houston – home to one of the largest Vietnamese American populations in the U.S. Maggie Martin sits down with one of the group’s founders, Tuan Andrew Nguyen.

The exhibit runs through Sept. 30, 2017.
