VANSHON Documentary Series
This documentary series features written profiles and filmed conversations with immigrant artists living in the United States. We focus on the formative period after arrival, when language, culture, economics, and isolation intersect with creative life. We are not documenting success. We are documenting becoming.
Your Art Has a History, and We Want to Hear It.
This documentary focuses on immigrant artists in the United States. The series captures the often-unseen early years after arrival: displacement, survival, adaptation, and the quiet persistence that shapes artistic voice.
This project grows directly from the SEED philosophy: talent does not travel equally across borders. While science and technical knowledge are more easily translated, artists must rebuild context, audience, and legitimacy from scratch.
Your Art Has a History documents that gap—and honors the resilience within it.
Goals
Give immigrant artists a platform to archive their early U.S. experiences
Normalize struggle as part of artistic migration, not personal failure
Build a living cultural record for future generations
Invite community participation and dialogue
