Writing & Concepts Chi Tran: Attention is a form of prayer

ACCA is pleased to host Chi Tran: Attention is a form of prayer as part of the 2019 WRITING & CONCEPTS program. A writer, artist and editor, Chi Tran presents this lecture in the form of a lyrical, prayer-like essay. Split into short chapters, Chi Tran's talk showcases 'how crucially feminist it is to combine poetry, autobiography, and critical theory,' as the speaker notes. This lecture is a meditation on embodied writing that seeks to simultaneously undo and affirm. WRITING & CONCEPTS is produced by Future Tense and moderated by Jan van Schaik and Fjorn Butler. WRITING & CONCEPTS is supported by each of the host venues, MvS Architects, RMIT’s School of Art and School of Architecture & Urban Design, Melbourne University and ART + AUSTRALIA.
