The Goethe-Institut has been funding residencies in Leipzig for artists from Southeast Asia since 2020. The first Vietnamese artist to participate in this programme is Ms. Le Hien Minh from Ho Chi Minh City. Since March 1st she has been living and working in the art and culture center of Leipzig's "Baumwollspinnerei" (cotton mill). The corona virus epidemic has also spread to Germany since the beginning of March. We asked Ms. Le Hien Minh to report how she was doing.
