In Vietnamese, the word nước translates to both water and country. When you remove nước from the Southeast Asian body, what’s left is our salt stained skin—a bitter reminder that we’ve crossed oceans to leave the nước that nourished us, the nước that was our livelihood, and the nước we once called home.
Salt Stained showcases communal storytelling through works of art by Southeast Asian artists whose stories challenge dominant narratives. These works demonstrate our resiliency as people whose salt stained bodies stayed afloat as we cast out our ropes and hold onto one another, leaving a legacy of ripples behind.

Located in the historic Japantown San Jose the ArtObjectGallery has been exhibiting paintings, prints, photography and sculpture by some of the areas best known and accomplished artists. Opened by Ken Matsumoto in April of 2000 it is the longest lived gallery in the South Bay. Housed in what was once a walnut packing facility the warehouse visitors often experience a unique sense of discovery when stepping into the gallery’s track lit white walls, carpeted floors and of course the artwork they find inside. This location also is the site of several art studios, as well as a meditation group’s Zendo.
