Uncovering Vietnamese Archives

Throughout 2022, I've been part of Museum of the Home's Uncovering Vietnamese Archives shaping group, co~designing a creative research programme for local ESEA artists.

Drawing on our range of experiences, we worked collectively to shape, design and launch a series of residencies for ESEA artists interested in working with archives and the local Vietnamese community. This included sourcing material from the GOR HOI Vietnamese archive at Tower Hamlets Local History Library, and co~creating the residency framework, artist brief and selection process.

The programme aims to activate these archives through a contemporary lens, to empower Vietnamese communities to critically engage with the stories of migration and diaspora they contain, and to make them living, shared and celebrated by those for whom they are most meaningful.
