Description:

Inspired by the recently published dual memoir My Vietnam Your Vietnam by Christina Vo and her father Nghia M. Vo, the 2024 Mỹ Việt Story Slam: My Vietnam, Your Vietnam is a virtual event for storytellers to articulate their unique and multifaceted connections to Vietnam and its profound influence on shaping both familial bonds and individual identities across time.

Storytellers interested in participating may submit their stories according to Vietnamese Boat People submission guidelines by April 22, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Five storytellers will be selected to have their story submissions streamed globally during the event and will have an opportunity to share their background, story and inspirations behind the piece.

The Story Slam hosted by Vietnamese Boat People is an engaging live event that provides a platform and an opportunity for storytellers to share their perspective and personal stories around a specific theme. Storytellers have an allotted amount of time to share their stories using their preferred medium and format such as monologues, theatrical performances, music, art, or poetry.
