The event marks the 51st anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification and the 136th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh.
The highlight is an exhibition entitled “Vietnamese Lacquer–Historical Imprints,” which honors traditional lacquer craftsmanship, one of Vietnam’s finest artistic heritages.
Artist Nguyen Dinh Bang, former head of the Fine Arts Faculty at Hanoi Vocational Intermediate School, showcased a lacquer work at the event. He said, “I think artisans and painters in Hanoi, as well as in the central and southern regions are researching and developing this material. This is very encouraging, and our traditional material has also been recognized internationally. It is one of the artistic materials that enables products to express national identity.”
The “Vietnamese Lacquer–Historical Imprints” series will continue until May 20, offering various experiential spaces and craft workshops.
Other heritage sites in the Old Quarter will host various activities, such as “do” paper-making, herbal tea demonstrations, and a painting exhibition titled “Lotus Season in Memory of Uncle Ho.”
