Genie Hien Tran (Vietnam, b. 1996) is a collage and textile artist based in Minneapolis, MN. She was born in Ho Chi Minh City and grew up there before migrating to the U.S. at 16. Her work is informed by diasporic memory and the exploration of immigrant identity. Working with paper and textiles, Tran layers images and materials from personal collections, cultural and historical archives with images and materials of their present time and location—together capturing the beauty and nuances of migrant belonging.

Tran received her MFA in Visual Arts at Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2022 and BFA in Illustration at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2018.
