Young Hanoians intrigued by high-tech historical exhibition

This pioneering multimedia exhibition delves into the essence of Hanoi, showcasing its evolution through 200 meticulously curated narratives. Over 5,000 stories collected by Humans of Hanoi serve as the rich tapestry from which these narratives are woven.

Hanoi, Vietnam: A confluence of evocative photography and innovative multimedia technology engages young Hanoians in an exciting odyssey through their city's vibrant past, dynamic present, and envisaged future. "Streams of Hanoi," a collaborative exhibition between Humans of Hanoi and Ocean City, a project chronicling the lives of ordinary Hanoians, invites visitors to embark on a captivating journey through time.

Stepping into the exhibition is like passing through a time portal. Renowned visual artist Cao Hoàng Long masterfully utilizes set design, evocative lighting, and spatial manipulation to blend the Hanoi of yesteryear with its contemporary iteration within the same space. Rather than being passive observers, visitors are actively engaged in the multi-sensory experience, interacting with visuals and narratives that bring history to life.
