Article 14.1 will explore the Vietnamese refugee narrative through video, photography, installation and performance. Living off the limited supplies of Vietnamese boat people, Phuong Ngo will inhabit the No Vacancy Gallery space for the duration of the Next Wave Festival 2014. He will occupy the time by folding origami boats out of hell money to be burnt at the conclusion of the Festival. Audience members are invited into the space to partake in the work at small tables that will dot the floor of the gallery. While assisting in folding paper boats, viewers will listen to the recorded stories of Vietnamese refugees.

Article 14.1 has been assisted by the Victorian Government through Arts Victoria, the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body and the City of Melbourne.
