Traditional crafts

Traditional Vietnamese crafts are rich, developed, and passed down through many generations. Their descendants preserve and refine their skills, creating unique and exquisite handcrafted products that reflect the distinct characteristics of each region. These crafts not only bring economic benefits but also embody many customs, traditions, and cultural aspects of Vietnamese rural life. Traditional handcrafted products are closely intertwined with daily life and meet the cultural needs of the people.

Through the lens of female photographers, traditional crafts such as carving patterns on bronze drums, making broomsticks, weaving mats from coconut fiber, decorating piggy banks, painting on glass, and making handmade rice paper are widely showcased.

To celebrate its 34th anniversary, the Hai Au Women's Photography Club ( Ho Chi Minh City) organized an exhibition and launched a photo book titled "Traditional Crafts". The 128-page book showcases images of traditional crafts from various provinces and cities in Vietnam.

The exhibition, held from October 3-18, 2024, at the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Cultural Center, showcased 50 black-and-white artworks (50x75 cm) by 26 female artists from the Club.
