Hà Nội Mở – Hanoi Open has been a program of Hà Nội Nghệ Văn – Art Culture Hanoi since October 2023. With a series of workshop-tours; sessions of review, discussions, and guidance on completing artworks; and a co-presentation space – Hanoi Open is a co-travel, co-learning, and co-creating project for the community, especially young people, to explore the geography, history, culture, art, and residential life of Hanoi.
The overall goal of Hanoi Open is to form a new, ever-developing memory map of culture and art heritage for the city of Hanoi. The map and tours foster the cultural insights and experiences of the individual and the community of people living and working here, as well as those of visitors who may become attached to the Thang Long thousand year-old city, a point of convergence and intersection of the cultural and artistic quintessence of Vietnam and the world.
Hà Nội Nghệ Văn – Art Culture Hanoi is a platform founded and developed by MYAN, Hương Mi Lê/mi-mimi, Nguyen Huyen, and Tran Nam Hoang to initiate and operate projects on the education, experience, and co-creation of art and culture in Hanoi, and from Hanoi towards local and international connections.
