Launched in 2024, this program is designed to support Vietnam-based Vietnamese artists, curators, researchers, cultural workers, and collectives, with a focus on emerging and mid-career practitioners.

Emphasizing the collaboration between our residents and partnered cultural spaces, our program aims to promote this contemporary, organic relationship to ground our work in place, which is the historically and culturally rich city of Huế, Vietnam, while maintaining a conscious vision of our globalized age.

Anchored by three core principles – work-based residency, experimental research, and community engagement – we strive to empower creative thinkers and practitioners to bring their ideas to fruition and share their realized projects with our audiences. By fostering artistic innovation across mediums such as moving images, installation, painting, sculpture, performance, and sound art, we aim to nurture talent and create social value through exchange and cultural exploration.

Given the even more limited resources available to Vietnamese artists based in Việt Nam, this program is designed to address that gap.
