From Folktale to Exhibition: Bringing Vietnamese Stories to Life
How do stories travel from oral tradition to the page, and from there into museums, books, and new creative works? What happens when old tales are reimagined for new audiences across cultures?
Join us for a lively panel exploring the journey of Vietnamese folk tales, from generations of storytelling in homes and communities, to a newly translated illustrated publication and a display here at the Museum. This conversation will look at the creative process behind transforming heritage stories into contemporary cultural experiences.
Bringing together voices from publishing, illustration, and production, the panel will explore translation, visual storytelling, curating across cultures, and the future life of these tales, including their development for the stage through Tấm Cám.
