Insider’s Look into Hanoi’s Art Scene

Vietnamese art has thrived despite its turbulent history, maintaining a uniqueness that has put local artists on the international stage. Today’s tour begins at 08:30 / 14:00. Meet the art curator for an insider’s look into the traditional and contemporary art scene in Hanoi. 

First, join the art curator on an interestingly interactive art discovery through downloading a special app on the smartphone. Then, visit the on-viewing contemporary art exhibition in the independent art space where young artists develop independent practices whilst encouraging their involvement in social development within the current context of Vietnam.

End the trip with a visit to the private residence of the celebrated Art Director who came to Vietnam since 1994. She has been dedicated to discovering exceptional artists such as the ‘Gang of Five’, a group that emerged in the early 1980s when Vietnam was struggling to rebuild after decades of war.
