No One is a print publication about underground queer nightlife around the world. Each issue takes readers to a different city's queer scene, featuring communities and collectives who promote connection and identity building through electronic music. Together, these intimate records aim to create a growing time capsule of our shared, yet very own, queer identities.
A head-spinning, all-encompassing thirst for reinvention in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Bursts of mischief breaking through the polite pretense of conservative Hanoi. There’s no better way to capture today’s queer nightlife in Vietnam than through the narratives of its seemingly contrasting, yet deeply complementary two largest cities.
The issue highlights how nightlife is more than a space—it’s a home for one and for all: “Homecoming,” “About Our Place,” and “A Sleepless Night at Equation” are personal recollections of self-realization and belonging. They tell stories of a Vietnamese diaspora returning to their homeland at a ball, the formation of a local refuge, and a slap of reality that punctured our protective veil. These narratives challenge the one-dimensionalization of nightlife, asking both its participants and observers to seek deeper meaning between its highs and lows.
