Vagabond Projects
Learn more about Vagabond’s projects including Vagabond zine, the “50 Years of HOPE and HA-HAs” exhibition and the 2025 “Sài Gòn By Night”.
Contact Anthony Le about project opportunities.
A core value of Vagabond projects is that there’s no one way to be Vietnamese, and therefore we can embrace all the different ways to be Vietnamese with love, acceptance and curiosity as the foundation of building community.
FROM THE creators
“It’s liberation through self-love and vulnerability. There is an honesty there. There is an openness to be wrong there. There is a forgiveness there.”
—Anthony Le

2025 Performance
Sài Gòn By Night is a cabaret celebrating Vietnamese art and culture on September 20, 2025 at Pearl Street Warehouse.
Sài Gòn By Night was originally going to be performed at the Kennedy Center until new leadership prohibited a drag performance. We were able to discuss the ban with NPR and Time.
2025 Exhibition Project
Explore the DMV’s first ever Vietnamese American art exhibition “50 Years of HOPE and HA-HAs” at the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities from Jan. 16 — March 1, 2025.
The exhibition was featured by NPR.
2024 Zine Project
Vagabond Zine features interviews with 13 Vietnamese artists, mostly based in the DMV and East Coast of the United States.
FROM the creators
“There is no one Vietnamese American experience, and doing all these interviews just proves that there’s so much diversity even within that category.”
