Chau Nguyen (b. Hanoi, Vietnam) (they/she) is a Vietnamese immigrant artist based in Philadelphia.

They worked on curatorial projects in conjunction with New Kensington CDC and Bryn Mawr College. Nguyen also served on the DEI Council at Comoto Holdings, a major U.S. platform in motorsports, where they co-led Comoto’s first women’s employee resource group.
