VAC Residency Hanoi

The residency spans three months, with two months of production and one month of open studio. Throughout the three-month residency, artists become the hosts and are encouraged to invite guest artists for collaboration. Our program offers curatorial and network support, assists project development, and facilitates exchanges across communities and beyond borders. Based on the idea of creating a collaborative environment, our space in Hanoi is repurposed from a private residence into a multifunctional studio. It serves as a hub for artistic production, communal activities, and public programs. We will work alongside artists to help them reach beyond their comfort zones and achieve at least one short-term project aligned with their career goals.

Our residency's core value is creating a "haven" for artists and cultural practitioners in Vietnam. Here, they can freely explore realms outside the "box." We believe in learning through practice and engagement in an unorthodox setting. This can be through different forms of mobility and flexibility, such as field trips and travel workshops, or simply enjoying

the temporary freedom to focus on artistic projects without concerns. We seek to bridge gaps and solve problems for each artist based on their needs and aspirations.
