Crowdfunding Campaign Langs House – Dream of Rebirth

Crowdfunding Campaign “Nhà Lang – Dream of Rebirth”
Time: 28 Apr 2015 – 31 Aug 2015

From The Muong’s Cultural Museum:

Lang’house – The Dream of Rebirth is the campaign of crowdfunding for rebuilding the ancient Lang house, the unique house of the Muong’s Land Lord at Hoa Binh. The house was burned at the end of 2013. It is still placed at the Muong’s Cultural Museum, Hoabinh, Vietnam.

Until now, there have been big concerns over the fire on 24 October 2013 at The Muong’ Cultural Museum. It was careless of a tourist group to ignite the flame, destroyed an over-100-year-old Lang house, and hundreds of antiquities. To those who have spent a lot of time and effort establishing and managing the museum, it is such a deep loss, sorrow, and regret. The destroyed area of Lang house had remained intact for investigation and evaluation of damage until one day when the authority informed that they would temporarily stop investigating the case of the fire. During this time, we were awaiting for support and assistance from local authorities and culture departments in restoring the damaged parts.

One year after the fire, considerable effort and work has being put in. Looking at the ashes, and charred remains, we who built and took care of the museum was strongly driven with new inspiration and design. We decided that we would continue to tell a story about the new journey of Lang House: a story of a rebirth dream. Thanks to the data & drawings kept in the museum, and the sharing of some Muong workers installing Lang House in 2007, we will be able to restore the house with all original with some remained poled and wooden floor.

We can almost see the dream that we are dreaming. Our artists and friends are eagerly preparing for some arts events, which are going to take place in Hanoi from April to July 2015. The events, along with a series of activities related to ticket selling, fundraising auction, seminars, open call in social media are within the contribution plan. The idea are given, then implemented by our beloved artists.
