What's in the SEA Atlas? | Brave Harbors Ep 1
Hello! | Suostei / សួស្តី | Sabaidi / ສະບາຍດີ | Nyob zoo | Xin chào This is Tri Vo, Cultural Organizer here at SEAD. I am launching a new program through the SEAD Project called Brave Harbors. You can find a brief description of the program’s intent at ⁠tinyurl.com/beamapmaker⁠⁠. This podcast conversation will refer to this IG post @theseadproject to guide the podcast host's responses to the question: What's in the SEA Atlas? What do ideas of Southeast Asia and diaspora look like to our podcast hosts, Tri and Charmaine? Is the term "Southeast Asia" useful? Confusing? Biased? What would be useful for Southeast Asian-origin peoples to have for reference, review, and discovery in a SEA Atlas? This podcast episode is a conversation between two staff members at The SEAD Project: Tri Vo (he/anh) and Charmaine Balisalisa (they/them/siya), who are the Cultural Organizers and Leader Visual Designer, respectively, in addition to being the co-creators of the Brave Harbors project. _________________________________ We want to build new tools for SEA-origin peoples that are defined, designed, and made by us. Through a project like Brave Harbors, we want to help SEA-origin peoples become more independent from the systems that trap us more than they free us to build new systems that actually benefit us and communities. On behalf of The SEAD Project, we want to connect with Hmong, Khmer, Lao, and Viet peoples who deeply care for their communities and want to make change in solidarity, our Mapmakers. A Brave Harbors Mapmaker has their own map of experiences and working knowledge of certain systems. We’re excited to create more comprehensive maps of stories, histories, and challenges that our people can use to navigate tumultuous seas of systems and -isms—together. This is how you can start your journey with us as a Mapmaker: 1) Submit! your responses at ⁠tinyurl.com/beamapmaker⁠ to help SEAD better understand what social issues that SEAD's core audiences care about. 2) Converse with me!- by booking a time to talk via ⁠my Calendly scheduler⁠: ⁠tinyurl.com/mapmakerchat⁠. Chat with me about what has impacted you and your communities, which can include many things like ethnicity, education level, private/public/self-employed sector worker, and the list goes on. Email Tri at ⁠[email protected]⁠ and/or Charmaine at [email protected] with all your feelings, curiosities, and questions in relation to Brave Harbors. Share this podcast and relevant Mapmakers links with other Hmong, Khmer, Lao, and Viet folks you know who would be interested in map-making with us. *Please feel encouraged to submit a response if you identify as Southeast Asian though do not belong to our focus communities of Hmong, Khmer, Lao, and Viet groups.

Introducing: Brave Harbors — Setting Sail for New SEAs
Hello! | Suostei / សួស្តី | Sabaidi / ສະບາຍດີ | Nyob zoo | Xin chào This is Tri Vo, Cultural Organizer here at SEAD. I am launching a new program through the SEAD Project called Brave Harbors.

Transcript for this podcast episode can be found here: [Transcript] Introducing: Brave Harbors This podcast episode is an introduction to the commitment to high-value narrative change via community-informed workshops and programming that Brave Harbors will be a container for the remainder of 2023, and possibly beyond. In this solo episode featuring myself, Tri Vo, you will hear some of the perspectives and themes, both historical and contemporary, that have impacted people of Southeast Asian-origin, or SEA-origin. The team behind Brave Harbors will be guided by these perspectives, themes, and the input from participating community members, who we will henceforth call "Mapmakers", to design forthcoming programming that can create space for courageous conversations around the hard dialogues that may help SEA-origin peoples come together and change narratives and policies that uplift our communities.

Recorded in early Nov 2022. Explicit language was permitted for each MAFN Talk conversation. Today, we're releasing our conversation with Vibol (see bio below), a Khmer filmmaker based in New York. He has some funny stories for us, like how a Spanish-speaking woman was mad at him for saying he didn't speak Spanish, his time making a ghost-comedy short film that included a freak light bulb incident and staged gunfire scene that prompted a police appearance, and others. His many years as a filmmaker has also imparted on him many lessons about the sacrifice and persistence needed to make a filmmaking career worthwhile. Listen and hear his lessons for yourself. Guest bio: Vibol Sungkriem was born in Battambang, Cambodia amid a civil war, resettling in the Bronx, NY in the early 80s. Today, Vibol has written many screenplays. His experience ranges from not only working behind the cameras but also being skilled in the field of lighting, Pro Tools, sound recording, and editing. You can see more of his work and hire his team for film and video production services ranging from movie, commercial, promotion, and more at vibolfilms.com/. Vibol Films is currently seeking spaces to screen their latest documentary, Khmer Traditional Ceramic Artist, based on Yary Livan, a Khmer traditional ceramist living in Lowell. Livan is one of only two master Cambodian ceramicists and is recognized for his exemplary artistic creativity and contribution to Khmer culture and arts.
