Today, you will visit the Manzi Art Space, situated in a peaceful colonial house. During your visit you will be treated to both a fabulous modern art exhibition and exquisite Hanoian coffee with the chance to meet a modern local artist and converse about all types of art throughout Vietnam and especially in Hanoi. Contrary to Ho Chi Minh City’s more modern vibe, Hanoi is still a traditional city, and modern art exhibitions are fairly new to the city. Manzi takes a collaborative approach working with local artists, artistic intellectuals and social activists, as well as international cultural institutions trying to make their voices heard.

Un espace artistique

Au programme du jour, vous visiterez l’Art Space de Manzi, situé dans une paisible maison coloniale. Pendant votre visite, vous pourrez admirer une fabuleuse exposition d’art moderne tout en dégustant un délicieux café d’Hanoi. Vous aurez également l’opportunité de rencontrer des artistes locaux et de discuter avec eux à propos des différents types d’art qu’on rencontre au Vietnam et plus particulièrement à Hanoi. Contrairement à Ho Chi Minh Ville qui dégage une atmosphère plus moderne, Hanoi reste une ville traditionnelle ce qui explique que les expositions d’art moderne sont une nouveauté pour la capitale. Manzi a choisi une approche collaborative et travaille aussi bien avec des artistes locaux, des intellectuels et des activistes sociaux qu’avec des institutions culturelles internationales afin de faire entendre leur voix.
