Exhibition "New Hanoi"

The exhibition "Thanh Tan Hanoi" opens to art lovers from November 2 to 9, at Ho Van - Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam. The exhibition "Thanh Tan Hanoi" is jointly organized by the Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities of the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, the I Draw Club and Nhau Studio. This is a special cultural highlight of Hanoi's autumn, within the framework of "Thang Long - Hanoi Festival 2025" - Heritage Convergence Journey.

Inspired by the spirit of "thanh" - clear, pure and "tan" - new, creative, the exhibition introduces more than 90 paintings by professional and amateur artists, bringing youthful perspectives on Hanoi past and present. Each painting is a slice of the city that is both familiar and new; both nostalgic and full of life.

The exhibition is divided into three themes: "Heritage & Architecture" honoring the ancient beauty of the streets, temples, Long Bien Bridge, Hoan Kiem Lake; "Contemporary Life" reflecting the dynamic and creative lifestyle of the young generation and "Open Creative Space" - where folk art is revived through bamboo, Do paper, coconut leaves, wood...

In addition to the display, the exhibition also has a series of creative workshops called "Touching art, living with heritage", with activities such as: Combining ideas - printing colors, Painting on conical hats, Painting mountains and rivers, Transforming trees and leaves, Golden imprints and Negative sketches. These activities help viewers directly "touch - do - live" with art, bringing painting out of the frame and closer to everyday life.

The Organizing Committee hopes that the exhibition "Thanh Tan Hanoi" will become a bridge between contemporary art and heritage, spreading the love for Hanoi, encouraging new creativity based on tradition, and contributing to affirming Hanoi as a creative city - where heritage is still alive in the modern rhythm.
