ACAM
ACAM (Arts Coordination Annual Meeting) is the first annual gathering in Vietnam dedicated to the crucial yet often overlooked work of arts coordinators. These individuals bridge the gap between artists, curators, institutions, and communities — managing timelines, handling permissions, translating cultural sensitivities, and ensuring creative visions are realized.
ACAM recognizes this labor and aims to cultivate a collective space for knowledge sharing, skill-building, and solidarity. Over the course of three days, ACAM will host a series of panels, workshops, case studies, and informal discussions that reflect on the challenges and future of arts coordination in Vietnam and the Southeast Asian region.
