Bringing together critical scholarship and creative practice, the book examines cross-cultural exchange as both a possibility and a problem: a space for reciprocal learning and innovation, but also one that can reproduce colonial hierarchies of cultural value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentered on four in-depth case studies of collaboration between Australian and Vietnamese makers and designers, the book traces innovative practices across fashion and textiles, ceramics, and furniture-making. These projects emerged in response to the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic and foreground adaptation, recovery, and sustainability in its cultural, social, economic, and environmental dimensions. By situating contemporary Vietnamese craft and design at the heart of the analysis, the book challenges Western-centric discourses that privilege \"fine art\" over craft and signals toward decolonial approaches to making and knowledge exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAttentive to mobility, tradition, and longstanding ecological practices, \u003ci\u003eđây\/đó (here\/there)\u003c\/i\u003e offers new ways of imagining craft, creativity, and sustainability in an interconnected world--speaking to scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in intercultural creative futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrace McQuilten is an art historian and curator of Anglo descent based in Naarm\/Melbourne, with familial connections to Vietnam via her Vietnamese Australian partner and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRimi Khan is a Bangladeshi Australian researcher whose work examines diversity and sustainability politics in the creative industries and who has lived and worked in Saigon, Singapore, and Naarm\/Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecky Lu is a British Vietnamese Chinese multidisciplinary artist currently based in Saigon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNguyễn Ngọc Thảo is a Vietnamese Australian artist and educator, practicing in Naarm\/Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTammy Wong Hulbert is a Chinese Australian artist, curator, and lecturer of arts management, also based in Naarm\/Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53521539662131,"sku":"9781956313321","price":63.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/8qVPUf_-Gq9781956313321.webp?v=1781953945","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/day-do-here-there-cross-cultural-craft-and-design-exchange-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
