FMG had the chance to speak with two pillars of the queer scene in Vietnam: Ouissam (Hanoi) * @ouissamhk and Park:ING (Ho Chi Minh City) ** who have shared stories from their local scenes.

Recently, the two artists have realized that geographical proximity can yield inspiring collaborations both inside Vietnam and to neighboring Asian cities.

Ouissam and Park:ING admit their own amazement at the unexpected popularity of their clubs Savage (Hanoi) ** @savagehanoi ** and The Observatory (Ho Chi Minh City) ** @observatorysg **, respectively.

Both are organizers, DJs, and visionaries, and their work for Vietnamese nightlife is unprecedented.
