Need for Visibility

We envision a world where the diversity, complexities, and nuances of the Vietnamese diaspora are understood and celebrated; and in which Vietnamese diasporic stories and artists can empower, heal, and connect individuals and communities. To implement our vision, we curate and create programs, collaborations, and publications for Vietnamese diasporic artists, their allies, and their audiences.
