Storytellers: Portraits of Resilience with Thanh Tan

STG Presents Storytellers: Portraits of Resilience with Thanh Tan Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026 Kerry Hall 1:30pm - 3pm General admission, all ages. Register Here Many South Vietnamese veterans now in their 70s and 80s have never told their stories, not even to their own children. Portraits of Resilience creates space for them to be heard. This Veterans Day weekend, join storyteller and curator Thanh Tân at STG's Kerry Hall for an intimate afternoon honoring those who served as U.S. allies during the Republic of Vietnam era. The program opens with a presentation of archival images, portraits, and music from South Vietnam. Veterans then gather in a bilingual storytelling circle while family members listen and learn. Each veteran will sit for a professional portrait and every participant leaves with a print. Families are encouraged to attend together and to bring old photos or keepsakes from that time. Vietnamese and English spoken. Please Register so we can plan accordingly for our photographer and refreshments. Built on Portraits of Resilience (2025), which brought South Vietnamese veterans and their families together in Seattle's Chinatown–International District.
