Cultural and creative habs in Vietnam: does transfer of cultural models guarantee sustainability in another cultural context? Research diary, 01. 2019

Summary/Abstract: This text will offer a mapping of the cultural and creative hubs in Vietnam, its roles and purposes. It would question the ethics of knowledge transfer through direct concept transmission from Global North to Global South, without understanding contextual differences. It studies 12 creative hubs in Ho Shi Minh City (6), Hanoi (2) and from different provincial cities (4), taking in consideration results of the overviews and analysis done previously by British Council. The survey has shown limits of the concept application, as creative economy in Vietnam is not developed enough to enable its practitioners to rent spaces and services on commercial basis. Thus, the concept of creative industries in practice is limited on bars and restaurants (creative gastronomy), or advertising and PR services, joined by several exhibition spaces that might offer excellent international exhibitions (foreign curators looking for such places) or temporary art residency. This text represents a plaidoyer for a new ethics in international cultural relations, where foreign aid will be based on recipient needs and its cultural values (context understanding).
