Moderated by Rimi Khan (lecturer, RMIT Vietnam), the two discussed the connections between creativity, design, and sustainability in the modern context of Vietnam.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ndzfwI2tC9Q&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1605503451236{margin-bottom: 2rem !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch the full conversation here<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conversation started with the definition and purpose of sustainability. While UuDam Tran Nguyen shared that sustainability could begin right with the creative process and its byproduct waste, Zoe Butt viewed the matter through a more metaphysical lens. From her perspective, \u201csustainability\u201d is akin to understanding respect, something that applies to each individual and to the society as a whole. In a materialist world glorifying immediate reality and hedonism, the connection between the tangible (objects) and the intangible (respect, sustainability) becomes more important than ever. Only when realising the impact of the decisions of each individual will we have the awareness of and respect to ourselves, and thus be able to develop our surroundings, Zoe shared.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Vietnam\u2019s environmental matters, both speakers expressed their lack of satisfaction towards the shortcomings in the process of sustainable development and the protection of the country\u2019s environment. Still, Zoe holds positive opinions on the solidarity of the Vietnamese in turbulent times, especially with regard to current sustainable development projects aiming to alleviate the severe flooding in the Central region. Something else that both pointed out was in relation to the overfocus on \u201crecycling\u201d rather than \u201creducing\u201d. The fact that many products are branded as \u201crecyclable\u201d or \u201creusable nylon bags\u201d makes us even more unaware and ignorant in the way we consume and why we do.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UuDam and Zoe both agreed that what truly matters is focusing on changing ourselves and our communities. As the latter put it, when society cares about the role of cultural balance with an emphasis on the variety of classes, a world with respect and sustainability would take shape.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1770&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1605503701145{margin-bottom: 2rem !important;}&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Towards that vision, UuDam had developed a number of artistic projects aiming to raise community awareness, such as \u201cRong Ran Len\u201d and \u201cEco-Di\u201d &#8211; both expressing the artist\u2019s viewpoints and his hope for a sustainable Vietnam. These works also integrate cultural images close to the heart of Vietnamese people &#8211; Thanh Giong, the slippers, amongst others. His bigger wish, he shared, was to create small changes that will gradually make impact &#8211; rather than sudden or forceful changes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing the same opinion, Zoe believed that we need to diversify the cultural activities in Vietnam. An ecosystem is needed for individuals, organisations and people from a broad spectrum of society to learn, discuss and work together towards sustainability. For our two speakers, visual art &#8211; the most vibrant, expressive form of creativity &#8211; is the way to go.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The talk ended with a Q&amp;A session with interesting questions from the audience &#8211; \u201cHow can Vietnamese people reduce the use of nylon bags?\u201d, or \u201cHow to get more people to use green products?\u201d. Opinions were offered in an objective, cordial manner.<\/span>\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This talk served as the launch for the competition VIETNAM 2030: VISION OF THE FUTURE, which currently accepts submissions at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/vfcd_vn2030\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.bit.ly\/vfcd_vn2030<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>STORY BY<\/strong>\r\nDinh Nguyen[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":1774,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"news-category":[40,19],"class_list":["post-1768","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-culture","news-category-event"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Vietnam 2030: A Dialogue towards Respect and Sustainability &#8211; Vietnam Festival of Creativity &amp; Design<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/2021.vfcd.events\/en\/news\/vietnam-2030-a-dialogue-towards-respect-and-sustainability\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Vietnam 2030: A Dialogue towards Respect and Sustainability &#8211; Vietnam Festival of Creativity &amp; Design\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]Co-organised by RMIT Vietnam and the Australia Vietnam Young Leadership Dialogue (AVYLD), the discourse event \u201cVietnam 2030: Towards a Sustainable Future\u201d took place on 24 October and featured artist UuDam Tran Nguyen and curator Zoe Butt.
