About the project:

The project explores living and working in queerunity at the cross-sections of digital and real localities in Vietnam and the UK. Asia-Art-Activism (UK), Ba-Bau AIR (VN), Queer Forever! (VN), A Queer Museum / Ban Lon – Vagina Talks (VN) will co-host a series of exchange sessions and workshops that will unfold from December 2021 – February 2022. These sessions are aimed at nurturing cross-cultural and interdisciplinary dialogues in a time where cross-border solidarities are much needed. Focused on queer lived experiences and how queer art-making and methodologies might open up new horizons for thinking and practice, these sessions are aimed at fostering intersectional relationships for possible future collaboration and partnerships.

For the exchange sessions we are inviting artists and practitioners from different organisations to share their practices work, so we begin to map together shared interests and concerns, especially of any UK-Vietnam trajectories and narratives that are intersected with queer subjectivities and queering as critical methodology.

The project is supported by Connections Through Culture (CTC), British Council.
