Goethe-Institut Hanoi and A Queer Museum are pleased to announce our first joint public workshop Case(S) study about Queer and Feminist Archive. This workshop is an integral part of the A Queer and Feminist Archive project, which aims to explore methods, strategies and preservation techniques for queer and feminist materials. Additionally, the project aims to create a platform for discussion about the challenges and opportunities inherent in archiving queer community stories.
This workshop is one output of the open call Queer Ideas by Goethe-Institut Vietnam.
The workshop will have two main sessions:
Explore the Goethe Institute Library in Hanoi to start thinking and discussing a question: What queer and feminist materials can you find in a library? How can you navigate queerness and queer content in a library?
Move to Manzi Art Space & Cafe, explore and discuss queer art through several works at Manzi Gallery, and view the art space as part of the Queer ecosystem in supporting activities and events for the Queer community.
Move to A Queer Museum, open the archive boxes, and engage in deeper discussions with project members about Queer and Feminist archiving, personal and collective approaches.

Due to the difficulty of finding sufficient information, Nhung started to accumulate not only her own activities but also those happening around her, and she began to develop the idea of queer archiving.
