'Speaking Nearby', An Viet Archive (production still), George Clark, 2022
4 Nov-16 Dec 2023
Overview
LUX is pleased to announce an exhibition of new commissioned works exploring the An Việt Archives, the largest known British-Vietnamese community archive in the UK, presented as part of the British Council UK/Vietnam season 2023.
Featuring Nhà Sàn Collective, Moi Tran, George Clark, Cường Minh Bá Phạm, Trà My Hickin, Stefan Khánh Nielsen, Thierry Phung, Lưu Chữ, Nic Annette Miller.
In 2021, Hackney Archives and the Hackney Chinese Community Services received a grant from the National Archives, enabling them to rescue the An Việt Archives – the largest known British-Vietnamese community archive in the UK which was almost lost when their former building in Hackney was squatted. The historical documents were created by the An Viet Foundation (AVF), which was set up in Hackney in 1981 to support Vietnamese settlement in London after the Second Indochina War. It was a central hub for Vietnamese families providing support with housing, health outreach, English language, and mother-tongue classes.
A simultaneous exhibition will be presented in Vietnam at The Outpost, Hanoi.
Commissioned by An Việt Archives, supported by the British Council as part of the UK/Vietnam Season 2023 and Hackney Archives, LUX and the University of Westminster.
