According to Luong Xuan Doan, vice chairman of the Vietnam Fine Arts Association, the world is flattening and cultures can exist at global levels. At the very beginning of the new century, Vietnam is still an interesting and trustworthy art destination for international artists to exchange and communicate with each other.
The exhibition will run until December 2nd. It will be repeated in Ho Chi Minh City from December 19th to 26th, and in Hungary’s capital city of Budapest in 2020./.
