Again, some thing which I picked up from the papers , LIFE today.

The National Heritage Board has organized a Vietnam Festival, starting from late May. There's gonna be an art exhibition, showcasing the art works after 1990s from Vietnam. 1990s is the point of Vietnam's reconstruction after the war. A picture speaks a thousand words. Datz why I thot it'll be an interesting art exhibition, where artist showcase the lives of the vietnamese ppl from their paintings.

I've been to Ho Chi Minh last Dec. And found the local ppl very "arty". Paintings, murals, cards..etc, were all hand made by their locals. It's their way of life..or rather their livelihood, to paint or to handmade certain items for sale. We've also visited an 'art center' located on the outskirts of ho chi minh city, where the locals who are physically impaired worked as painters. Every piece of artwork was done with much precision and effort.

Another part of the exhibition will be held at the Ancient Civilization Museum from 21 May onwards, themed 'From Myth to Modernity'. This part showcases artefacts of the country's heritage and history. While I was in Vietnam, the places of interests which we visited were related to the war (the significant event of Vietnam's Modern History) , instead of the cultural heritage of the place. Maybe it'll be a good opportunity den to tk a look at the exhibition to find out more about Vietnam before the war took place =)
