Tống Khánh Hà (1995) is a visual artist from Hanoi and graduated in Communication Design at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. She loves to discover phenomena in seemingly trivial things, distills them and derives new aesthetic forms of representation from them.
“How does white feel?” (German: Wie fühlt sich weiß an?, 2023) is an ongoing series of drawings by Tống Khánh Hà, inspired by the initial question “How does white sound?”. With her interest lies in the intersection between sound and the visual perception of the colour white, Tống’ graduation essay is part of the project, turning more inwardly into her state of mind in specific situations. On drawings, she creates an in-between space for contemplations on positionality and the act of positioning. The series results from a long process of self-questioning and encountering discrimination in different contexts. How would white, a colour that is often placed in dualistic relations, evoke and represent, especially in reference to diversity, the recognition of differences, and a practice of openness, free from prejudices?
