Documentary Screening “Who Is William Onyeabor?” and DJ Set with Dan Lo
Thu 07 Aug 2014, 8 pm
ATK
73a Mai Hac De, Hanoi
This is a night to celebrate the Nigerian funk musician and band-leader, William Onyeabor, who had a series of records in the late 70s and 80s which exalted him into an iconic status in the history of Nigerian pop, often considered the founder of Nigerian electro Afro-funk.
His biography has been shrouded in mystery due to his own refusal to discuss it or his music since becoming a born-again Christian in the middle of the 1980s and retiring to pursue a career as a businessman running his own flour mill.
We will show the recent documentary about the mysterious man, Fantastic Man, and follow it up with a set from Saigon’s Afrobeat expert Dan Lo [The Observatory / Eclectic Aesthetic], who will be in charge of the decks all the night long, set to put William Onyeabor classics on alongside many other Afro hits, leading up to their influence on sounds of today.
Entry VND 50,000

Viet Pride 2014 – Together
01, 02 and 03 Aug 2014
Hanoi
In August 2012, Vietnam saw its first LGBTQ Pride celebration in Hanoi. A convoy of more than 200 people on bicycles and motorbikes, carrying rainbow flags and messages of equality, created a landmark for the LGBTQ movement in the South East Asian country, where prejudice against sexual minorities is still pervasive. The second
Viet Pride the following year was a significant step in strengthening the movement and expanding the scope to include the Viet Pride scholarship and an employment equality campaign.
This year, 2014, Viet Pride will be celebrated for the third time in Hanoi on the first weekend of August – the 01st, 2nd, and 3rd. Continuing the momentum, the third Viet
Pride aims to raise awareness of sexual diversity and the right to love that every person regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity is entitled to. Besides that,
Viet Pride 2014 also puts a strong emphasis on forging the connection and solidarity amongst diverse LGBTQ groups from all over the country through a series of discussions and networking activities. These two directions of focus are much needed in the time and place where equality and dignity for people of sexual minorities are circumscribed by the language of culture, and the consensus, solidarity within the LGBTQ community is vital to lead the movement forward.
The preparation for Viet Pride 2014 is being carried out with great excitement across the country, involving civil society organisations both in the North and the South of Vietnam, as well as foreign embassies, social enterprises, and the strategic partner of Viet Pride – the Goethe Institute. The organising committee also hopes to bring over LGBTQ organizations from overseas for exchange of good practices and transnational camaraderie. A great source of support comes from Civil Rights Defenders to put together the event and invite LGBTQ community leaders to Hanoi for the three days of Viet Pride and a number of community consultation/needs assessment sessions.
Speaking of the development and remarkable progress of Viet Pride, Nguyen Thanh Tam, director of the project since 2012, said, “Viet Pride is making small, yet firm and consistent, steps in fostering social acceptance and respect that has been sorely lacking in the Vietnamese society. I am glad that in only three years, Viet Pride has grown to become an annual tradition and symbol of respect for diversity, with Vietnamese LGBTQ youth and allies quickly becoming the leading force. I also appreciate the fact that Viet Pride has proven to be not an isolated event or confined within Vietnam but part of the global LGBTQ movement that is changing the world in a way unimaginable just a few decades ago!”

While the campaign to legalise same-sex marriage in Vietnam may have stalled for the moment, enthusiasm remains high as the nation prepares for the third annual LGBT Pride celebration – Viet Pride.
Under the theme ‘Together’, Viet Pride aims to sustain the momentum and solidarity amongst the diverse LGBT groups across the country, and also fostering the dialogues between LGBT community and strategic key partners including dedicated rights activists, supporting civil society organisations, relevant UN agencies and other allies in Vietnam.
Built on the success of previous campaigns, the event this year offers a wide range of activities, opportunities and platforms to embrace the diversity and dynamics of the movement; promote unity and coordination within LGBT-serving groups; facilitate interaction and communication within community and among participants in a cosy, vibrant and colourful atmosphere. Through solidarity and understanding, Viet Pride aims to harness the energy and strengthen the voice of LGBT people.
The event will take place over five days from August 01 to August 05 – with the capstone Viet Pride bicycle rally on Sunday August 03, an event celebrated widely in local and international media. Supporters are enthusiastically expecting a convoy of rainbow bikes, and volunteers with huge rainbow flags along the rally route in the centre of the capital. Such visibility carries the hope to gradually change the social attitude in Vietnam where homosexuality remains a taboo.
