Vũ T. Thu Hà  is a conceptual interdisciplinary artist, known primarily for her experimental films, photography, and art installations.

Born in Vietnam and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she studied film and photography at the San Francisco Art Institute and City College of San Francisco. After finding herself using wood in numerous installations, she enrolled in a wood technology and fine furniture curriculum at Laney College in Oakland to enhance her technical woodworking skills.

In 2003, Vũ volunteered as an outreach worker to visit Vietnamese massage parlor workers in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. She spent significant time with the women, sharing meals, singing karaoke, and exchanging life stories. Often overlooked within our own diasporic communities, many of the women drew parallels between their experiences and Kiều, the protagonist of the Vietnamese epic poem Truyện Kiều by Nguyễn Du. They recited lines from memory and taught Vũ about the poem and its importance within their Vietnamese identity.

This experience profoundly influenced Vũ and became the foundation for Kiều (2006), a collaboratively constructed narrative feature film developed through sustained engagement and collective storytelling with the women, alongside writers, social workers, poets, and community organizers. The project was funded in part through the Creative Work Fund, which awarded Vũ the Media Arts grant to collaborate with two Bay Area non-profits. The Asian Pacific Islander Wellness Center became the non-profit serving the women working inside massage parlors and provided Vũ with an outreach worker to visits. The other collaborating partner, Locus Arts, brought the project to the community by co-hosting a free film workshop series at Galeria de la Raza called "Grrrillah Filmmaking in Three Parts," where participants were introduced to the filmmaking process and were involved in the production of the movie. The entire team, a pan-Asian collaboration of women artists and activists, worked across disciplines and backgrounds to bring this universal story to life.

Kiều premiered at the 2006 San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. The 74-minute film is presented in English with Vietnamese dialogue.

Vũ is also the director of Each Night (2001) and Shut Up White Boy (2002). All of her films have and continue to be screened nationally and internationally.

Currently, Vũ prefers to work in the shadows, in solitude, and in the un-digitized, analog world of medium format photography, super 8/16mm filmmaking, and wood dust. She aspires to eventually have the time to process and scan every roll of exposed 120 film and finally work on her next narrative 16mm cult film.
