Through intimate photo diaries, archival interviews, artist profiles, poetry, food recipes and architectural surveys, mãi mãi presents a collective, borderless vision of Vietnamese culture, identity, and imagination. Beyond storytelling, WE AIM to foster community between Vietnamese born abroad and in Vietnam.
mãi mãi was self-funded and independently published by Vietnamese Gen-Z and millennial creatives representing three Vietnamese-founded studios: publishing collective Superblooom* (New York), multimedia group Saigon Kiss (Amsterdam), and PR/production agency District One Studios (New York/Saigon).
