RMIT Vietnam is proud to provide a safe place for our community to study and thrive. Pride Week is our annual event to raise awareness of issues and barriers to inclusion, create spaces of belonging and share stories that connect us.
This year, under the theme Born to be R-riginal, we celebrate the spirit of individuality and authenticity. Just as every fingerprint is unique, every person has their own identity, story, and perspective. Through a collective fingerprint artwork, we celebrate the beauty of diversity and remind our community that everyone deserves to be seen, respected, and valued, because every print has a place

Join us to celebrate language, identity, and the power of queer voices!
No two fingerprints are identical — and neither are the stories, experiences and perspectives that each of us brings to RMIT.
Inspired by this idea, Fingerprint turns individual creativity into a collective celebration of identity and belonging.
Drop by the Innovation Hub and leave your own mark through a series of creative activities:
Add your fingerprint to a large community canvas and write one word that means something to you. Together, hundreds of individual marks will form a shared artwork celebrating the diversity of the RMIT community.
Design your own wooden coaster using acrylic markers and eco-friendly materials. Make it colourful, meaningful, minimalist or completely unexpected - it’s yours to personalise.
Create a bracelet using colourful beads, letters and charms. Keep it as a Pride Week memento or exchange it with someone as a small symbol of friendship and connection.
Complete the event activities and collect a Pride badge featuring one of several Pride flag designs celebrating the diversity of identities within the LGBTQIA+ community.
Come by between classes, make something to take home, and help create something bigger together.
What can a ribbon represent? A connection, a promise, a celebration — or a bond between people.
RIBBOND combines the imagery of ribbon bows and fingerprints to explore themes of love, recognition, equality and community. Inspired partly by the visual language of a wedding celebration, the exhibition invites students to think about marriage equality and the many individual voices that contribute to social change.
Created in collaboration with the RMIT Queer & Alliance Club, RMIT Library and Student Council Hanoi, RIBBOND provides a space to learn, reflect and start conversations about LGBTQIA+ inclusion and equal recognition.
At the Information Corner, discover ten queer organisations and learn more about their work, community resources and contributions to gender and sexuality advocacy.
Drop in, explore the exhibition and discover how individual voices can come together to create stronger bonds of understanding and support.
