We make sure our partners are empowered by creating opportunities for individuals and communities.
The Problem
Reinforcing our Commitment
It has only become harder to geographically track the long-term effects Agent Orange has held on communities such as Hue, Vietnam.
Daniel Grinberg introduces a geographic information system that, “can be another generative strategy for the visualization and co-constitutive knowledge sharing of the defoliant’s manifold impacts”.
With the help of GIS, scientists are able to analyze the locations where dioxin is most common and draw up plans for removal.
Advantages of technology: geographical mapping & people begin to question if portions of the removal of Agent Orange can be increased through technology expresses
GIS helps, “By tracking migration patterns around toxic areas, it can also showcase the diasporic patterns of affected residents” (Grinberg 43).
Geographically mapping out areas of destruction bring us back to our roots of being dependent in the locations we live in.
Conclusion: This all comes back to the conclusion that we must survive on the land we were given and how to treat this world properly. The humans affected have become statistical data like the geographical maps conducted by Grinberg.
What We Do
One Heart at a Time
Agent Orange was a harmful herbicide used during the Vietnam War
ARTribe Los Angeles began in 2007 when the Gold family attempted to give their father’s puppeteers to make some space in the household following his death.
Along with the human-like dolls, high school artists agreed to give to ARTribe's annual show art to sell, bringing in donors of all kind
From filmmakers to graphic designers, one supporter called the Spiral Foundation, which stuck with the organization promoting the effects of the Vietnam War continued to fund the yearly event
With the help of Spiral, ARTribe is a documented corporation, officially making us a non-profit humanitarian organization. The Spiral Foundation assists disabled artisans in Vietnam, who simultaneously aid children with Congenital Heart Disorder. The disabled artists create pieces from recycled wrappers and work at the Healing Wounded Heart Shop in Hue, Vietnam.
Through the work of ARTribe Los Angeles and the Spiral Foundation, we joined art and medicine to fundraise about twenty thousand dollars for heart surgeries for children in Vietnam and Italy. Living on an annual wage rate of one dollar a day, the Spiral Foundation continues to save lives in Vietnam and Italy every day.
