Visual Activism and Sexual Diversity in Vietnam VASDiV is an interdisciplinary collaborative research network comprised of academics, experts, practitioners and network members that are internationally recognised in the field of visual culture, activism, gender, sexual politics and queer theory. The network is committed to sexual diversity in terms of devising new figurations of sexual identity beyond patriarchal and sexist models. The geopolitical context of the project will help to address the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with regards to gender equality (Sustainable Development Goal No. 5), reduced inequalities (SDG No. 10) and by producing a partnership for these goals by forming invaluable links with Vietnamese NGOs (SDG No. 17). The project provides a framework for the role that visual activism can play in how these social issues can be studied, addressed and challenged. The overall aim of the project is to support the drive towards gender equality and reduced inequalities in Vietnam by facilitating discussion, analysis and dissemination of visual activist practices in sexual minority communities, and demonstrate how visual activist practice can enable social change. To this date there has been no substantial research done in this emerging field of visual activist practice in Vietnam. The project's objectives will activate fruitful, novel and ground-breaking interaction between academics, experts, network members, visual activists and stakeholders. Network members include; Dr. Hoang Tu Anh, Vice Director of the Center for Creative Initiatives in Health and Population CCIHP, Hanoi, Vietnam; Ms Lung Minh Ngoc, Director of the Institute for Studies of Society, Economics and Environment iSEE, Hanoi Vietnam; Dr. Basia Sliwinska, Valand Academy, University of Gothenburg, expert on feminism and transnational art; Professor Tine Gammeltoft, University of Copenhagen, expert on sexuality and gender in Vietnam; Ms Himiko Nguyen, visual artist based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and Dr. Cristina Nualart, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain, specialist in contemporary Vietnamese art. The network comprising of these experts would enable research into an exciting and emerging field of inquiry. The project will further understanding and advance knowledge of visual activism and the impact of technology on politicized practices of representation.The project will be of interest to a wide range of disciplines, which includes the visual arts, gender studies, area studies, postcolonial studies, queer studies and global health. The activities carried out in this project are intended to address the following audiences: artists and visual activists concerned with sexual minorities in Vietnam, interdisciplinary experts in the field, the academic communities in the UK, Europe and Vietnam, UK Research and Innovation stakeholders and the wider public. This project is an unquestionably invaluable opportunity for acquiring, consolidating, advancing and disseminating knowledge about current and future directions of sexuality, queer studies, visual culture and activism studies.

越南的视觉行动主义和性多样性VASDiV是一个跨学科的合作研究网络，由在视觉文化，行动主义，性别，性政治和酷儿理论领域得到国际认可的学者，专家，从业者和网络成员组成。该网络致力于性别多样性，在父权制和性别歧视模式之外设计新的性别认同形象。该项目的地缘政治背景将有助于实现联合国2030年可持续发展议程关于性别平等（可持续发展目标5），减少不平等（可持续发展目标10），并通过与越南非政府组织建立宝贵的联系（可持续发展目标17）为这些目标建立伙伴关系。该项目为视觉行动主义在如何研究、解决和挑战这些社会问题方面可以发挥的作用提供了一个框架。该项目的总体目标是通过促进对性少数群体视觉活动实践的讨论、分析和传播，支持越南实现性别平等和减少不平等的努力，并展示视觉活动实践如何促进社会变革。到目前为止，在越南的视觉活动实践这一新兴领域还没有进行过实质性的研究。该项目的目标将激活学者，专家，网络成员，视觉活动家和利益相关者之间富有成效，新颖和突破性的互动。网络成员包括;越南河内CCIHP卫生和人口创新倡议中心副主任Hoang Tu Anh博士;越南河内社会、经济和环境研究所所长Lung Minh Ngoc女士;哥德堡大学Valand学院女权主义和跨国艺术专家Basia Sliwinska博士;哥本哈根大学Tine Gammeltoft教授，越南性和性别问题专家;越南胡志明市视觉艺术家Himiko Nguyen女士和西班牙马德里孔普卢顿大学当代越南艺术专家Cristina Nualart博士。这些专家组成的网络将使研究成为一个令人兴奋的新兴领域。该项目将进一步了解和促进视觉行动主义和技术对政治化的代表性做法的影响的知识，该项目将涉及广泛的学科，包括视觉艺术，性别研究，地区研究，后殖民研究，酷儿研究和全球健康。该项目开展的活动旨在面向以下受众：关注越南性少数群体的艺术家和视觉活动家，该领域的跨学科专家，英国，欧洲和越南的学术界，英国研究和创新利益相关者以及更广泛的公众。该项目无疑是获取、巩固、推进和传播有关性、酷儿研究、视觉文化和行动主义研究当前和未来方向的知识的宝贵机会。
