The photos are taken by three Vietnamese photographers Hoang Hai Thinh, Luu Viet Hung and Nguyen Viet Thanh, and three Mexican artists Sergio Camalich, Eunice Chao, and Juan Carlos Duran.

The exhibits will help visitors understand more about the natural landscapes, people, and cultural identities of the two countries as well as their bilateral friendship.

Within the framework of the exhibition, the participating artists will hold talks with visitors to share about their experience in photography as well as their most memorable moments throughout their careers.

The month-long exhibition is co-organised by the Mexican Embassy in Vietnam and the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology as an event to celebrate the 209th anniversary of the Independence Day of Mexico.
