Inga Kerber, a photographer from Germany, is displaying her art which deals with landscapes, forests and nature at an exhibition that opened in Hanoi on September 16.
The exhibition Cliché of a Landscape displays sets of three to five photographs showing small changes of the same landscape.
She combines such classic motifs with new, accidental and deliberate defective reproduction techniques, thereby acquiring an almost irresistible painterly quality.
Kerber was born in 1982 in Berlin, and lives and works in Leipzig. She has received numerous awards and scholarships.
She is the fourth artist to be awarded the Artist Residency Grant from the Cultural Foundation of Saxony. The Leipzig-based photographer will immerse herself in Vietnam's arts and culture scene for the next three months while living and working in Hanoi.
The exhibition will run until October 4.
As scheduled, Kerber will discuss her working process in a talk on September 26 and discuss the photographic trends today in Germany and Vietnam with photo artist Maika Elan and visual artist Nguyen The Son.
Elan started her career as a fashion photographer. She gained success with her debut photo project The Pink Choice which focusses on the life of gay couples in Viet Nam. It won the top prize in the Contemporary Issues category at the World Press Photo 2013 and top prize for Documentary Story at Pride Photo Award 2013.
Meanwhile, Son works as lecturer at the Vietnam Fine Arts University. He is an emerge artist with many solo and group exhibitions on the theme of urban area and modern life.
Kerber will also pass on her knowledge to young photographers and students in workshops in Hanoi, Hue and Ho Chi Minh City.-VNA
As many as 42 lacquer paintings by 14 Vietnamese artists are being showcased in an exhibition at the Ganaisa Art Centre in the capital city of the Republic of Korea (RoK) from July 15 to 20.
Some 200 photos depicting Vietnam- Russia relations as well as Vietnamese history, culture, landscapes and cuisine are being on display at an exhibition held in Russia from September 1-6.
Some 30 pictures and 15 panels of Hanoi ancient quarter’s culture and daily life were on display at an exhibition held in Paris, France on September 9.
Quang Duc pottery is known for its wide range of forms, including wine bottles, jars, lime pots, vases, plant pots, incense burners and candle stands. Decorative motifs are equally rich, featuring mythical creatures, pastoral scenes, floral patterns, deer, peacocks, bats and more.
Vietnam’s cinematic appeal lies in its diverse settings, from terraced mountains and limestone karsts to bustling markets and ancient towns. Its mix of ethnic vibes, buzzing street life, and old traditions gives directors a goldmine for storytelling.
The Vietnamese team will gather on June 26 in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, where they will train until July 14 before departing for Indonesia for the ASEAN U23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29. Vietnam will face Laos on July 19 and Cambodia on July 22 in the group stage.
The exhibition showcases more than 100 valuable documents and artifacts, divided into two main parts: “Journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – Ho Chi Minh” and “President Ho Chi Minh – Founder and Mentor of Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.” This is an opportunity to recall the late leader’s journalism journey and affirm his exceptional role in founding and guiding the revolutionary press in Vietnam.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
