Truc Truong is a talented artist with an unwavering voice. Since graduating from a Bachelor in Contemporary Art, Truc has been selected for the Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition (2020) and a resident at Hyphenated Projects (2020). As well as undertaking Honours in Art and Design (2020), Truc has blazingly erupted into the art scene. Through all these triumphs though, Truc has struggled with mental health issues, particularly relating to racism and cultural identity as a second-generation Vietnamese Australian, born and raised in Adelaide. It is these struggles which she explores through much of her art.
