VIETNAMESE DAY IN FUZJA

Announcement of the Łódź of Many Cultures Festival 2025

What is it about?

The Vietnamese Day is a unique event dedicated to one of the most important and visible national minorities in Łódź. The Vietnamese community has been shaping the city’s cultural landscape for years, blending tradition and modernity, local roots and global connections. During this afternoon – in the industrial space of Fuzja – it will be possible to experience Vietnamese culture through music, food, art, handicrafts and film. This meeting announces this year’s edition of the Łódź of Many Cultures Festival, with Vietnamese culture featured as one of its main themes.

What’s on the program?

• The project “Đậu phụ / tofu” is an audio-visual installation telling the 30-years old history of tofu in Łódź from the perspective of the local Vietnamese community. This immersive project, carried out by Kinga Nguyen, an artist of Polish-Vietnamese descent, and the “Powidoki smaków” (“Lingering flavors”) group from the Lodz Film School, engages all the senses to understand the cultural, emotional and social dimensions of “soy cheese.”
• Vietnamese food
• Karaoke like in Hanoi – singing together without barriers
• Traditional Vietnamese music – sounds from the heart of Asia
• Lantern-Making Workshop – a family activity inspired by the Tet Festival
• Vietnamese Film Screening – part of the TME Polówka outdoor cinema

Who is it for?

For families, young people, Asian cultures enthusiasts, locals curious about the lives of their neighbors and anyone who enjoys cross-cultural events and culinary discoveries.

Why is it worth it?

It’s not just a cultural picnic – it’s an opportunity to get to know and appreciate the presence of the Vietnamese community in Łódź. Through music, stories, flavors and art, we build cross-cultural bridges and strengthen the local community. Vietnamese Day brings dialogue through experience, making it the perfect way to begin the festival with openness and curiosity.

Bring your loved ones, your neighbors and your appetite for new experiences – we look forward to seeing you in Fuzja !
