Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network (DVAN)

We envision a world where the diversity, complexities, and nuances of the Vietnamese diaspora are understood and celebrated, and in which Vietnamese diasporic stories and artists can empower, heal, and connect individuals and communities. We curate and create programs, collaborations, and publications for Vietnamese diasporic artists, their allies, and audiences.

The Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network (DVAN) is dedicated to moving the voices and stories of the Vietnamese diaspora from the margins to the center. For over 20 years, DVAN has supported diasporic writers and artists through community events, writing residencies, and publishing opportunities, ensuring their perspectives reshape and expand the broader cultural narrative.
