Creativity with Heritage: Meet Nghe Viet
Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a Tet for children, but also an opportunity for the younger generation to return to the roots of national culture. Joining that atmosphere, the event of Creating with Heritage: Meeting Nghe Viet was held to arouse the love for traditional heritage and fine arts in the community, especially among young people.
The highlight of the program is the activity of exploring Nghe An - a pure Vietnamese symbol associated with pagodas, village gates, and ancient houses. Unlike the lion or the Liu River, which have been introduced from other cultures, Nghe has the unique beauty of folk art, expressing the belief, protection and cultural identity of Vietnam.
The event took place on October 5, 2025 at Trung Vuong Secondary School (26 Hang Bai, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi) with many rich activities such as: telling the story of Nghe with Dr. - artist Tran Hau Yen The and international curator Nguyen The Son; the game "Oa Con Nghe!" to help identify mascots in life; workshop on making Nghe heads from recycled materials; watching Nghe dances and interacting with artists; displaying and taking souvenir photos with works and family.
