1. “ALL ABOARD” Exhibition
This is a solo art exhibition by artist Nguyen Manh Hung. In his characteristically playful adaptation of everyday scenarios, Nguyen Manh Hung’s latest series of work in the exhibition ‘All Aboard’ conjures up a highly contrasting and absurd pairing: a frenzied crowd hurriedly and narrowly holding onto a sacred gate, which leads to the unknown.

- Time: 10:00 – 19:00, from Tuesday to Saturday
- Location: Galerie Quynh, 118 Nguyen Van Thu, Dakao, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City
2. “Tâm Họa” Vietnamese Calligraphy Exhibition
The art exhibition displays 86 calligraphy works by artisan Luu Thanh Hai, ones created during the five-year period of 2018 to 2022 covering the following subjects: Buddhism - Confucianism - Taoism philosophy, Vietnamese idioms and proverbs, and original poetry.
