Sal Tran (members of the QTViệt Cafe Collective - a creative cultural hub dedicated to Queer and Trans Việt (QTViệt) liberation through ancestral practices, the arts, and intergenerational connections.)

Sal Tran is a queer and trans Vietnamese filmmaker and somatic healing facilitator, raised and rooted in the Bay Area.

They are one of the co-founders of SunKissed Productions, an independent multi-media film collective led by queer and non-binary, Asian-American artists. They are also the creator of a cooking web series called “Lost in the Fish Sauce” that aims to reclaim the journey of healing through spices and food.

Sal’s work is rooted in the power of storytelling and its ability to cultivate a space of growth, accountability, and joy. Their work has been featured in the East Bay Stonewall Democratic Association, NBC Asian-America: Queer Series, San Francisco Transgender Film Festival, Hanoi International Film Festival, Autostraddle, Upworthy, and many more.

Sal also facilitates Transformative Healing Justice centered workshops with both Healing Together and our partner, Reclaiming Our Own Transcendence (RooT).

We are one of many! You can learn more about our group of queer and trans Việt artists and healers at https://www.qtvietcafe.com/.
