Ngoc-Tran Vu (she/her) is a 1.5-generation Vietnamese multimedia artist and organizer whose socially engaged practice draws from her experience as a cultural strategist, educator, and lightworker. Her work evokes discourse of familial ties, memories and rituals amongst themes of social justice and intersectionality.

Born in Vietnam, Tran came to the United States with her family as political refugees and grew up in Boston's working-class neighbourhoods. Previously, Tran worked at Silkroad to support performing musicians through social impact and AIR (Association of Independents in Radio) to advocate for freelance producers in mission-driven storytelling. Most recently, she taught in Asian American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Tran works across borders and is grounded in Boston's Dorchester community.
