The exhibition brings together ten artists, including Pham Hung Anh, Phan Minh Bach, Nguyen Tuan Dung, Vu Xuan Dong, Nguyen Truong Giang, Nguyen Duc Hung, Ha Pham, Le Thi Thanh, Vu Le Tung, and Ho Si Tien. It features exhibits in diverse materials, modern visual languages, and a high level of interactivity.

The event is part of the fourth edition of the “Echoes of Cultural Heritage” exhibition series.

The exhibition is structured around three main thematic sections. The first focuses on traditional education with works depicting study, examinations, academic success, teacher–student relationships, symbols of knowledge, culture, and learning, as well as the contributions of virtuous scholars who devoted their talents to serving the nation and the people.

Meanwhile, the second section presents artworks inspired by distinctive festivals of the ancient capital, symbolising a rich spiritual life and the peace and prosperity of all living beings.

The third section highlights a subtle integration of the two themes, allowing flexibility in conveying both the artistic and conceptual values of the works.
