Hùng Lê

bio

Hùng Lê is an interdisciplinary artist born in Đồng Nai, Việt Nam. His family immigrated to America when he was seven, settling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Immigrating at a young age has caused a lot of dissonance within his identity, which fostered his interest in memories, American culture, immigration, language, and citizenship as a means to understand himself and the history that precedes him. Lê received his BFA and Asian Studies Certificate from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2022. He has 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.
