(HBO) – Hoa Binh province’s organising board of the ASEAN photo and documentary exhibition met to discuss preparations for the event, which will take place in Hoa Binh province from November 23-25. The exhibition will feature land, people, environmental protection, climate change and ethnic groups in ASEAN. Nguyen Van Chuong, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, head of the board, presided over the meeting.
The provincial organising board
implements the preparatory plan for the ASEAN photo and documentary exhibition.
The exhibition, scheduled to be held at the Hoa Binh Cultural
Palace, will focus on the themes of land and people; environmental protection
and climate change; and ethnic groups within the ASEAN Community.
It will introduce more than 300 photos and 100 documentary films
by ASEAN photographers and directors who entered the final of the ASEAN photo
and documentary festival held in
Vietnam in 2010, 2013 and 2015.
The event is expected to promote the land and people of ASEAN,
helping Vietnamese in general and residents in Hoa Binh in particular increase
their understanding, solidarity and friendship with people in other ASEAN
member countries.
Through the exhibition, Hoa Binh will introduce its potential and
strengths in socio-economic development, as well as traditional culture to
international friends.
Concluding the meeting, Chuong said the exhibition is a
political-cultural event of Hoa Binh province this year.
He asked members of the board to soon fulfill their assigned tasks
to make the event impressive to domestic and foreign visitors.
Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.
The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.
The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.
At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
