Memories are everything that happened but still remain within us. What connects us together? What can we remember? Why do we only remember parts but all in our lives? And what makes them important to us? Those are the few questions the artists trying to find answers to. Relating to this, the artists made personal choices and gave their own interpretations of memories. Some of them analysed it from the philosophical-visual aspect, and some of them from their personal experience.
The exhibition will open on 15 and be on display until 30 Nov at Huong Ngo Art Space, 3rd floor Nola café, 89 Ma May st., Hoan Kiem, Hanoi.
