"Presented in partnership with the Rubin Museum, the series will run from May 2026 through October 2026 and invites visitors to engage more deeply with themes central to Nguyen’s work. The series is hosted by Tashi Chödrön, Rubin Museum Himalayan Cultural Programs and Communities Ambassador, who, in her two decades with the Rubin, has led meditation programs for over ten years and is the current host of the Rubin’s Mindfulness Meditation podcast. Each session features a lecture by a scholar, artist, or cultural leader, followed by a guided meditation led by an invited practitioner. Through this combination of intellectual and contemplative practice, the series invites audiences to pause, reflect, and consider the artwork’s historical and philosophical themes through both thought and experience.
