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.
Our Journeys is made possible with support from the Henry Luce Foundation, the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, the Asian Women Giving Circle, and many private donors. Visit the Wall of Hope to view the full list.
