Hùng Lê is an interdisciplinary artist born in Đồng Nai, Việt Nam. Immigrating at a young age has caused a lot of dissonance within their identity, which fostered their interest in memories, American culture, immigration, language, and citizenship as a means to understand themselves and the history that precedes them. Lê received their BFA and Asian Studies Certificate from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2022. They have received multiple awards, including the Charlotte Street Visual Artist Award in 2025, the Windgate-Lamar Fellowship Award in 2022, the Jesse-Howard Fellowship in 2022, and the Charlotte Street Foundation Studio Residency in 2022.
