Vietnam 2030: Vision of the Future – Towards a Sustainable Future

Join in the conversation with artist Uudam Tran Nguyen and curator Zoe Butt as we explore the common ground between creativity, design and sustainability.

AVYLD and RMIT Vietnam welcome you to the online talk between artist Uudam Tran Nguyen and Zoe Butt, artistic director of The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre. We will explore the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the speakers’ perspectives on humans’ impact on the environment, and the common ground between creativity, design and sustainability. Through the discussion, we hope to find out how new works and the creative process advance ideas around sustainability, climate changes and the local communities, as we look into the future? The talk constitutes the launch of the competition: VIETNAM 2030: VISIONS OF THE FUTURE.
