Ha Phuong 16:56, 2017/06/15
From June 16 to 20, an exhibition by the artist residency group Cung, Dung, Cham (literally meaning ‘touch’) and ethnic minority groups goes on display at the Hanoi Old Quarter Culture Exchange Centre.
Exhibition “Cung, Dung, Cham”.
Exhibition “Cung, Dung, Cham”.
The residency and co-authoring programme comes from the activist group The Pioneers for the Voice of Ethnic Minorities. The Pioneers group consists of 25 representatives of 13 ethnic minority communities in 11 provinces of Vietnam (Dak Lăk, Dak Nong, Ha Giang, Lang Son, Lao Cai, Quang Tri, Soc Trang, Thai Nguyen, Bac Kan, Thanh Hoa, Yen Bai).
The Pioneers aware of their ethnic identity, and believe it is best to let insiders solve their own issues. The group chose to speak up to boost the mutual understanding between different cultures, between the minority and the majority.
Members of the groups are looking forward to learn new methods of expression to let their voice be heard better, clearer, and in more diverse ways. The group is renowned for its annual event about Ethnic Minorities’ culture: “I believe I can” held in Hanoi, Lao Cai, and Dak Nong from 2015.
During the residency which lasted for 30 days in May, four artist groups from Hanoi lived and worked with representatives of ethnic minority communities in Lao Cai, Yen Bai, and Dak Nong provinces.
The representatives are aware of their ethnic identity, and believe it is best to let insiders solve their own issues. The group chose to speak up to boost understanding between different cultures, between minorities and the majority.
The co-authoring groups will present their results of this first ‘touch’ at the exhibition, followed by a talk with the co-authoring communities. The free entrance exhibition is open to the public until June 20 at the Hanoi Old Quarter Culture Exchange Centre, 50 Dao Duy Tu Street. After the exhibition, the works will be given back to the ethnic minority communities who co-authored them.
