Trinh is an interdisciplinary artist\, award-winning playwright\, and spoken word poet based in Vancouver\, British Columbia. As the Artistic Director of Vancouver Poetry House and Interim Executive Director of the Historic Joy Kogawa House Society\, Trinh is a key figure in Vancouver’s literary community. His leadership focuses on elevating the voices of marginalized communities and creating spaces for spoken word artists to thrive. He integrates spoken word\, music\, video\, movement\, theatre\, and creative technology to create immersive experiences that reflect the complex\, multi-layered realities of our world. \nTrinh’s practice is deeply rooted in socially engaged\, community-based art\, with a pedagogy aimed at fostering empowerment\, agency\, and compassion. He believes that art has the power to unite and create solidarity\, and he continually works toward accountability\, integrity\, and fostering inclusivity in his practice. A member of the League of Canadian Poets\, Trinh holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Studies: Theatre & Creative Technology. His research focuses on auto-ethnographic performance and spoken word as a primary method in community-engaged art. \nWith several chapbooks and the audio album #undeniable released in 2017\, Trinh’s contributions extend beyond performance\, fostering the growth of emerging voices in the arts. His work is driven by the belief that it takes a community to build an artist\, whether through nurturing or resistance. \nREGISTER ON ZEFFY \nPlease Note:\n1.
