Curating VAALA's 2024 Exhibition: here, there: chúng tôi is a multi-media show that spans from December 6th 2024 to December 12th 2024. Funded by the Stop the Hate grant, the show takes a look at different manifestations of community via a trans-generational experience underlined by repair and acts of care. Care as a practice of organizing, presence, and witness. This exhibition spends time noting the difference and transformative aspect of what care looks like and how it is felt diasporically and not. How care has transcends borders through the presence and persistence of younger generations of Vietnamese folks. Centering on the fluxus of community through its very different forms, opacities, and applications, Here/There: chúng tôi takes a look at the way community is felt, practiced, and received.
