Sachi Dely

Born in the Dak Mil Province of Southern Vietnam, Sachi faced displacement as a Bunong refugee. After her trauma, art became Sachi’s coping mechanism as a child. It was only later in life that Sachi learned of her Indigenous Bunong heritage and honed her painting skills to render her stories on canvas. Sachi employs her paintings to manifest memories and experiences of other Bunong refugees she has met. She integrates native fabric patterns by mixing paint and cloth to create powerful works representing themes of displacement and loss.
