Oolite Arts Censors Vũ Hoàng Khánh Nguyên: Statement from the Artist & Community Letter of Solidarity

It is with deep disappointment that I write you today regarding the Oolite Arts Board of Directors’ abrupt and unwarranted removal of my artwork on display at the Oolite Arts x Walgreens windows, located on 67th Street and Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. The Oolite Arts Board of Directors made the decision to remove my artwork during a phone call on May 3rd without my consent, and they notified me only after they initiated the removal process. An Oolite Arts’ interim co-director first contacted and notified me that the board’s decision was in response to a letter directed to the board from “a group of Jewish lawyers” claiming that my work contains a political message that they find offensive. The interim co-director informed me that the board decided that my piece was in violation of the organization’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) code, although Oolite Arts approved my installation on October 5th, 2023 and it had been on view since March 27th, 2024.

Oolite Arts did not give me the opportunity to engage in dialogue or to further clarify my intention behind my artwork. Instead, it was removed based on the unilateral decision of the Oolite Arts Board of Directors, with Marie Elena Angulo as its chair. This not only undermines my rights as an artist, but also demonstrates a fundamental lack of respect for artistic expression and the value of open discourse within our community.

In my initial proposal for the project, I stated that I would share existing works along with new works that would be revealed when the show officially opens. Oolite Arts gave me the green light to proceed, and I did so under the impression that I had the artistic freedom to create this body of work. As a queer first generation Vietnamese American artist, my artistic practice is inherently a manifestation of my belief in the freedom of movement — a luxury within the violent imperial and capitalist structures that form our reality.

I find it deeply troubling that my artwork, which aimed to address multiple important social and political issues, was deemed unacceptable solely based on its content. In the recent past, Oolite Arts has funded and showcased projects addressing other political issues, including gentrification and book bans. In light of this, I respectfully question why the Oolite Arts Board of Directors suddenly chose my work to decide on what constitutes political art, especially when they have supported past projects addressing similarly charged topics. 

The piece was an expression of solidarity with oppressed people of the world and a call for peace and justice in the face of ongoing injustices. I am disheartened to see Oolite Arts, an institution who claims to support artists, misinterpret and censor my work. The arbitrary removal of my artwork sets a dangerous precedent for censorship within contemporary arts institutions and sends a chilling message to artists everywhere that we are not free to express ourselves. We cannot allow censorship to become the norm within artistic communities, nor can we condone actions that stifle creativity and silence marginalized voices.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to all those who have offered their support and solidarity during this challenging time. Your unwavering commitment to artistic freedom gives me hope for a future in which creativity can prosper and thrive. Thank you for standing with me in defense of the freedom of expression and the values we hold dear.

Below is our collective statement of solidarity with Vũ Hoàng Khánh Nguyên and our shared list of demands.

We come together as South Florida art workers and artists in solidarity with our colleague and friend, Vũ Hoàng Khánh Nguyên, and to amplify their concerns with mutual demands. We are disturbed by Oolite Arts’ censorship of Vũ’s work, their total lack of transparency around this decision, and the dangerous precedent it sets for art organizations like Oolite Arts, institutions claiming to be led by the needs of artists.

At the time of publishing and signing this, the Oolite Arts’ Board of Directors, led by Board Chair Marie Elena Angulo, offers us no cohesive explanation of the timeline of events that led to the abrupt suppression of Vũ’s work. Without transparency or communication from Oolite Arts’ Board of Directors, we are left to conclude that they considered a request from a third party reason enough to censor an artist—and that the institution’s board as a whole considers itself, its financial assets, and any third party it supports far more important than the integrity and protection of the artist and broader artistic community they claim to support and from whose cultural production they benefit.

Oolite Arts’ Board of Directors’ egregious act of censorship, particularly of an artist whose work speaks to their cultural background, and their blatant exclusion of their staff in the decision making, is misaligned with their own mission statement:

The mission of Oolite Arts is to support artists and advance the knowledge and practice of contemporary visual arts. Oolite Arts creates opportunities for experimentation and innovation, and encourages the exchange of ideas across diverse cultures through residencies, exhibitions, public programs, education and outreach.

The Oolite Arts Board of Directors’ removal of Vũ’s work is a part of cultural institutions’ ongoing stigmatization and censorship of artworks and statements expressing solidarity with the people of Palestine—an active refusal on the part of institutions to maintain their apparent values of freedom of expression and inclusivity. As the genocide of Gaza continues with Israel’s invasion into Rafah, funded by American taxpayer dollars, our institutions and governments continue to dimiss demands for a ceasefire as dangerous and criminal—including the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” This phrase is a rallying cry for the freedom and very existence of the Palestinian people. Though commonly misconstrued as a genocidal statement, explanations by expert sources on the chant’s meaning have debunked this mischaracterization. In 2021, the writer and political analyst Yousef Munayyer wrote in an essay for Jewish Currents that these gross misconceptions “fundamentally…disregard what Palestinians are calling for when they use the phrase in question: a state in which Palestinians can live in their homeland as free and equal citizens, neither dominated by others nor dominating them.”

Vũ is a child of refugees who were forcefully displaced from their ancestral homeland due to American intervention in the region. The Vietnam War triggered protests that mirror today’s protests against the war on Gaza. Miami, which Vũ also considers home, was represented in the removed artwork by a photograph of the Atlantic Ocean. Vũ’s artwork references water as a site of struggle for all oppressed peoples. The work invokes the phrase “from the river to the sea” as a reminder to viewers that water is a precious, borderless resource that connects us all.

Together with Vũ, we call for Oolite Arts to reconsider its decision and to engage in constructive dialogue with the artist community. Art should be a space for exploration, dialogue, and mutual understanding, not a battleground for censorship and suppression. We believe that as a well-respected and well-funded institution, Oolite Arts has a responsiblity to uphold artistic freedom and resist censorship. We call for accountability from the institution for their actions and decisions. Our demands are as follows:

​Transparency: We demand clarity and transparency in all decision-making processes, especially concerning the removal or potential censorship of artwork—including the suppression of Vũ’s work and all other potential instances of censorship going forward. Though a contract containing a DEI code was cited as one reason for the removal, the Oolite Arts Board of Directors has not shared this contract with the artist. 

Consistency: We demand consistency and clarity from Oolite Arts in the application of their policies, especially regarding what they believe constitutes “political” art worthy of being exhibited. Though the “political” nature of Vũ’s artwork, which the board deemed as “hate speech,” was an apparent reason for its removal, Oolite Arts displays and funds other political artworks — including those that address subjects like book bans, gentrification, police brutality, racism, and systemic oppression. 

Policy Review: We demand a review of existing policies together with resident artists, particularly those related to the exhibition and censorship of artwork, to ensure they align with the values of the institution and the broader artistic community. 

Disclosure:  We demand that Oolite Arts publicly disclose its financial investments which on average have returned approximately $2.3 million each of the last four years. As an organization that supports local artists with approximately $500,000 a year in grants, the money made from investments is directly related to our community’s artistic endeavors. Therefore, we deserve to be aware of and have a say in the institution’s financial investments which are intrinsically tied to the value of our work. 

Reorganization: We demand that Marie Elena Angulo step down as the Oolite Arts Board Chair, for her abuse of power and for greenlighting the censorship of Vũ’s work without due process. We demand that moving forward, decisions regarding the work of artists affiliated with Oolite Arts be unanimously made by all board members. 

Dialogue & Engagement: We demand open dialogue and engagement with artists and the broader community to foster understanding of the situation and to discuss our demands. We call for a town hall between Oolite Arts’ board, staff, resident artists, and alumni to discuss these demands in person by May 31st, 2024. These demands aim to create a more equitable and supportive environment for artists and uphold the integrity of artistic expression for Oolite Arts to continue to serve its community.
