The exhibition, featuring 120 photos captured during their
journeys to the islands, is scheduled to take place at Hanoi’s Information and
Exhibition House, 93 Dinh Tien Hoang Street, Hoan Kiem district, on August 3-7.
Participating photographers include Chairman of the Vietnam Artistic Photo
Association (VAPA)Vu Quoc Khanh; Vice Director of the Department of Fine Art,
Photography, and Exhibition Tran Thi Thu Dong, and Editor-in-Chief of the Dat
Mui pictorial Le Nguyen.
The idea for the exhibition first came to Dong after her first trip to Truong
Sa.
Dong said she was lucky to visit the archipelago and wanted to convey her
sentiment towards the landscape through her work as a photographer.
"Through the exhibition, we expect to bring the beauty and life of soldiers and
residents on the islands closer to mainlanders and tourists,” Dong said.
Her idea soon received much support from others, with Voice of Vietnam General
Director Nguyen The Ky naming the exhibition and VAPA photographers also
sending in their works. Artist Pham Ha Hai has undertaken the responsibility of
designing a logo and curating the exhibition.

With an increasingly vibrant and widespread emulation movement aimed at building cultured residential areas and cultured families, Yen Thuy District has been making steady progress toward improving both the material and spiritual well-being of its people, while fostering a civilized, prosperous, beautiful, and progressive community.
Once lacking recreational spaces and community facilities, Residential Group 2 in Quynh Lam Ward (Hoa Binh City) has recently received attention for the construction of a new, spacious, and fully equipped cultural house. The project followed the model of state support combined with public contributions in both labor and funding.
The "All people unite to build cultural life" movement, which has been effectively integrated with Kim Boi district’s socio-economic development goals, is fostering a lively spirit of emulation across local residential areas, hamlets, villages, public agencies, and enterprises. In addition, through the initiative, traditional cultural values are being preserved and promoted, while community solidarity and mutual support in poverty reduction and economic development are being strengthened.
A working delegation of the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee led by its Permanent Vice Chairman Nguyen Van Toan on June 11 inspected the progress of a project to build the Mo Muong Cultural Heritage Conservation Space linked to tourism services in Hop Phong commune, Cao Phong district.
Born and growing in the heroic land of Muong Dong, Dinh Thi Kieu Dung, a resident in Bo town of Kim Boi district, in her childhood was nurtured by the sweet lullabies of her grandmother and mother. These melodies deeply imprinted on her soul, becoming an inseparable part of her love for her ethnic group's culture. For over 20 years, this love for her hometown has driven Dung to research, collect, and pass down the cultural values of the Muong people to future generations.
In the final days of May, the Ethnic Art Troupe of Hoa Binh Province organized performances to serve the people in remote, mountainous, and particularly disadvantaged areas within the province. These were not just ordinary artistic shows, but they were the meaningful journeys aimed at spreading cultural values, enhancing the spiritual life of the people and contributing to the preservation of ethnic minority cultural identities.
