3000 portraits of Vietnamese Heroic Mothers live forever in digital space

Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union in coordination with the Department of Science and Technology implemented a project to digitize more than 3,000 portraits of Vietnamese Heroic Mothers.

The project is implemented through the website platform “Vietnamese Heroic Mothers” built by the Center for Geographic Information System Application (Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City) since January 2020. This is a digital archive with profound humanistic values, contributing to preserving and spreading touching stories about the noble sacrifices of Vietnamese Heroic Mothers from the South to the North.

More than 3,000 portraits in the project were made by artist Dang Ai Viet over many years of traveling across the S-shaped strip of land, from 2010 to present. Each painting is not only a work of art but also associated with a real-life story, a unique situation, which is introduced in detail on the website.

Not simply an information site, this platform is expected to become a useful storage and educational tool, contributing to nurturing love for the homeland, country and national pride in generations of Vietnamese people.

According to artist Dang Ai Viet, digitizing the paintings is a way to realize her dream, to preserve sacred values ​​that go beyond the limits of drawing paper. This is also a gift she sends to the younger generation, helping to record the merits of those who sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.
