ANNOUNCEMENT: DVAN Online

The Diasporic Vietnamese Artists Network is finally online! DVAN's aim is "to promote artists from the Vietnamese diaspora whose work in literature, visual art, film, and performance art enriches our communities and strengthens ties between Vietnamese across the globe. We undertake to support this body of work through cultural events, exhibits, conferences and publications that explore the connections between art and society."

The website features upcoming events and shows --of which there are many, such as the upcoming TransPOP symposium at UC Berkeley on Valentine's Day, take a date!-- and works by artists with links to their galleries online. The website promises to become a portal for connecting to and with Vietnamese artists across the diaspora (their scope in international), so bookmark this one!
