An exhibition coming in 2025, presented by Vietnamese Boat People.
Vietnamese Boat People (VBP) is honored to present “Our Journeys: 50 Years After the Fall,” a traveling exhibition debuting in New York City in 2025. The launch of this exhibition commemorates the 50th anniversary of
the Fall of Saigon, a pivotal moment in our Vietnamese diaspora community.
The design of “Our Journeys” is 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 traveling exhibit seeks to forefront the Vietnamese diaspora as narrators of our own story and as it travels, to educate broader audiences on the Vietnamese diaspora experience. As a touring exhibit, it is a traveling portal to, and catalyst for, community-building and dialogue. Regardless of one’s background, “Our Journeys” centers the visitor experience on our common humanity.
THE EXPERIENCE
Through a carefully selected collection of written stories, multimedia presentations, photographs, location tags, and video essays, visitors will be immersed in a experience that captures the resilience and legacy of the Vietnamese community.
USA TOUR
This is a momentous opportunity to reflect on our collective journeys and the strength that has shaped our community over the past 50 years. After its debut in New York, the exhibition will travel to other cities, inviting more people to engage with these deeply personal narratives and ensuring that the Vietnamese experience is recognized as a vital part of the Asian American story.
