Sonic portraits of the young minds re-imagining Vietnam’s future.
In the backdrop of the 30th anniversary of Đổi Mới, the name given to the 1986 economic reform known as the ‘Renovation Policy’ that would transform Vietnam, we share portraits of those born after the reform was implemented.
We meet with graphic artists, hardcore metal stars, gallery curators, hip hop artists, poets, entrepreneurs and everything in-between.
