The “Vietnam: Land, People, and Traditional Fashions” exhibition opened at Buenos Aires’ Evita Museum on October 17, marking the 40th anniversary of Argentina-Vietnam diplomatic ties. The Argentina-Vietnam Cultural Institute (ICAV), the Vietnamese Embassy, and authorities from Buenos Aires’ District 13 co-organised the event. Addressing the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Argentina Nguyen Van Dao noted Vietnam-Argentina relations are growing and flourishing in various areas, and this cultural event is a contributor. The exhibition showcases photos, lacquer paintings, and traditional ethnic clothing that offer visitors a diverse introduction to Vietnam’s land and people. Select works by Maria Teresa Bobbio, who collaborated with Vietnamese artists to complete Hanoi’s ceramic road, are also on display. The Vietnamese films “Canh dong hoang” (The Wild Rice Field), directed by Hong Sen, and Dang Nhat Minh’s “Dung dot” (Don’t Burn) will be screened at District 13. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City will host their Argentine Cultural Weeks later this November. Vietnam’s Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and Argentina’s Culture Ministry successfully organized the “Vietnam Days in Argentina” Festival in Buenos Aires on September 19. VOV
