Cultural Salon Saturday Café
19B Pham Ngoc Thach Str, Dist 3, HCMC

From the organizer:

ZeroStation is proud to announce that we have been selected as one of only three independent arts spaces in Asia to establish an exclusive arts project in Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar.

This is a first for Vietnam!

The project “Asian In/visible Station” is funded by the Japan Foundation Asia Center and will be facilitated and curated by ZeroStation.

ZeroStation, in the role of a facilitator, will help to create multi-directional and multi-layered discussions between Vietnam, South East Asia and Japan. It aims to create synergies to breath new life into our contemporary arts development, the arts landscape in Vietnam and in Asia. This aligns with the vision and practice, which ZeroStation has pursued persistently since its establishment.

We aim to fulfill the mission of connecting Vietnam art scenes with Asia and beyond.

We will also attempt to provoke questions and possibilities to assist in the understanding of what is sometimes called ‘Asian-ness’ as compared to more international flavors.

ZeroStation would like to sincerely thank the Japan Foundation Asia Center and the artists who have worked and may in the future work with ZeroStation in our projects.

It is YOU that make us ZeroStation; Without YOU we would be just a number Zero.
