MEMORIAL PROJECT
This memorial aims to honor the experiences of Vietnamese families and communities affected by the war and its ongoing legacy, while addressing the lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion in public place-making art.

By centering community voices in public artmaking and reclaiming narratives of the Vietnamese Diaspora, the project seeks to foster ongoing engagement, to address loss and grief, and to continue bridging intergenerational connections.
This collaborative arts-led effort celebrates the Vietnamese Diaspora, providing a shared space for acknowledging and healing the historical impacts of war.
This project is an intergenerational, community-driven public art project, slated for permanent installation in the Boston Little Saigon Cultural District.
