Confronted with an ugly sweater this holiday season? Bard alumnus Nguyên Khôi Nguyễn ’04, artist and professor of digital media at Loyola University Maryland, is here to help. Nguyễn created a helpful cartoon for the
New Yorker titled “How to Disappear Your Partner’s Ugly Sweater.” When subtle suggestions don’t do the trick, it’s time to escalate to novel solutions like “Capitalism” or “Self-Reflection.” Nguyễn’s multidisciplinary work has been featured in
McSweeney’s and the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center. He has won a Rubys Artist Grant and an Independent Artist Award from the Maryland State Arts Council.
