Vietnam
A Queer Museum (AQM) is a physical space for queer community, to preserve and nurture queer and feminist heritage in Vietnam. A Queer Museum is committed to promoting a society that protects, respects and cultivates diversity and equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.
During the residency at Sàn Art, HCMC (July 2020) between lock-down period of covid, Đinh Nhung wanted to pilot an idea of a queer museum in which queer people are part of the museum and make the museum possible with our presence, creativity, and expression in a space we feel safe and encouraging. After that, Nhung extended the idea of a performative museum in Hanoi at Babau-AIR. With other queer artists, the community and Babau-AIR, we lived together a whole month as A Queer Museum. So many stuff as well as people and activities; queer screening for three nights, zine-making workshop, performances, etc.
AQM mission is to preserve and nurture Queer and Feminist Heritage in Vietnam, promoting a society that respects, protects, and cultivates diversity and equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.
