No One MagazineTo accompany ISSUE 02: No One in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, we invited seven Vietnamese queer artists—from these two cities, alongside their diasporic counterparts from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and New York City—to tap into that spirit and interpret the Vietnamese phrase “Đi Đi Đi” through their own sonic language.
“Đi Đi Đi” is a staple of everyday Vietnamese speech, literally translating to “Go Go Go.” More than just a command, this phrase is a spark, a playful yet urgent push to move faster, go harder, and get it done. It encapsulates not only the pace of Vietnamese life which inspires much of its underground sound, but also the scene’s collective drive against compartmentalized freedom.
All revenue from this record will be donated to two organizations advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights in Vietnam including A Queer Museum (AQM) and one more to be determined ahead of the record's release.
AQM is a physical space in Hanoi dedicated to preserving and nurturing queer and feminist heritage. Through activities like film screenings, zine-making workshops, ballroom history lessons, and performances, AQM fosters community while promoting a society that respects diversity, equality, and the rights of all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
