Vietnamese New Orleans podcast

VietNOLA

Hosted ByKim Vu

From the Westbank to New Orleans East, there is a vibrant community of over 20,000 Vietnamese New Orleanians. Once a week host Kim Vu invites a guest to chat about Vietnamese etiquette, ancient proverbs, Vietnamese events in New Orleans, and Vietnamese food. A Vietnamese-American recently arrived from California, Kim combines her own discovery of the local Vietnamese community with her deep familiarity and love of Vietnamese life and customs. Kim and guests weave a tapestry of fun and pho, Hanoi and poboy, as VietNola explores the world of Vietnamese New Orleanians, here and in Vietnam.

Good Children and The Sniff Kisses – VietNOLA – It’s New Orleans

February 20, 2017 VietNOLA Comments Off on Good Children and The Sniff Kisses – VietNOLA – It’s New Orleans

A true “professional bohemian”, Stephen Collier is a nationally known artist and one of the founders of the Good Children Gallery on St. Claude.  

The son of a white father and a Vietnamese mother, Stephen grew up in Natchitoches where he was one of the only Asians for miles around.  Now living and working in New Orleans, he’s become known as “one of (the city’s) edgier and most engaging conceptualists”. 

This week Stephen joins us on VietNOLA to talk about his art and music, and he even shares some thoughts on one of Vietnam’s more intimate contributions to world culture:  The “Sniff Kiss”.
