DVAN

DVAN's aim is to promote artists from the Vietnamese Diaspora whose work in literature, visual art, film and performance art enriches our communities and strengthens ties between Vietnamese across the globe. We undertake to support this body of work through cultural events, exhibits and publications that explore connections between art and society.

DVAN is international in scope. It provides resources and promotes the work of Vietnamese artists in the United States, France, Canada and Australia, as these countries host the largest Vietnamese communities overseas. It also supports artists who have returned to Viet Nam and produce from that location.

Check out our blog, diacritics.org, where the diaCRITICS write about Vietnamese figures as well as diasporic arts and culture. You can read the blog and learn more about the wonderful things DVAN is doing to promote Vietnamese cultural productions in the diaspora on our facebook page.

The First San Francisco Global Vietnamese Film Festival will be on April 27-28 at the Roxie Theater. We will have an Opening Night Gala at ATA on the evening of the 26. You can find information about the festival at http://sfgvff.wordpress.com/
