The works focus on exploiting the simple and delicate beauty of handicrafts across the country, captured through the artistic lenses of female photographers.

Traditional craft villages such as silk weaving, ceramics, carving or embroidery... are not only the crystallization of creative labor but also contain cultural and historical values preserved through many generations. The exhibition is meant to pay tribute to the artisans and craftsmen who have been preserving and developing traditional crafts.

On this occasion, the Hai Au Women's Photography Club also released an art photo book of the same name with 129 unique photos selected by female photographers from their field trips to traditional craft villages. The exhibition will be on display from October 3 to October 18 at the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Cultural House Hall.
