What we’re about
Hi members,
The goal of the Society is to foster a community of people who have lived/worked in New York and in Vietnam or those who are interested in opportunities for both markets. With that common ground, we can network and learn from each other to further pursue our success here in NYC.
There are quite a few of us living here and we should challenge each other to exchange ideas, share our experiences, and perhaps even start an amazing venture together.
As we begin our journey, please help us fill this 3 question survey so we can better provide content and experience for you:

About the Exhibition
Our Journeys is a curated multimedia experience, inspired by the interviews and content generated by the Vietnamese Boat People podcast and programs. It is developed around the core concept that a story passed down is a gift—something given to another with intention and without obligation. For a community whose stories have often been told by others, this exhibit centers the voices of the Vietnamese diaspora, reclaiming the narrative through personal stories, photographs, multimedia displays, and video essays. Visitors will be immersed in the resilience, legacy, and diversity of our community’s lived experiences.***
