Hanoi's creative festival attracts diplomatic wives

The installations at historic sites, part of the Hanoi Festival of Creative Design 2024, left the ambassadors’ wives in awe.

This year's Hanoi Festival of Creative Design, themed "Creative Intersection", has truly become a hub for engaging creative professionals, artists, designers, experts and the local community.

Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, Vice Chairwoman of the Hanoi People's Committee, said the festival was an opportunity to reaffirm Hanoi's status as a "Creative City" within the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

"The activities are designed with people in mind, showcasing the creative resources of the community and involving both artists and locals. It has also attracted large crowds and garnered support and participation from international friends," she said.

The diplomats' spouses spent the day touring the festival's various venues.

The first stop for the ambassadors' wives is the Hanoi Children's Palace.

 With the theme "Nostalgia for the Future", the Hanoi Children's Palace hosted various activities, including the "Cheo Meo" exhibition of autistic children, workshops, and installations of works by artist Vu Tan Dan.

 Here they explore the “Flow” Pavilion, which consists of two pavilions that lead the public from an “open” space (Dien Hong Flower Garden) to a “closed” space (inside the Bac Bo Phu), culminating in an art garden where viewers can experience the connection between the two pavilions, akin to a historical flow from heritage to the present.
 They explored the “Touch Point” installation on the legendary iron door of the Tonkin Palace.
 The bullet holes and traces of war on the door are creatively transformed by artists into striking works of art.
 The ladies explore the historical relics of Bac Bo Phu, also known as the Tonkin Palace.
 They then visit Indochina University, known for its stunning architecture.
