You are invited to the discussion about the exhibition “Back to Front” with:

Social housing represents an important page in the history of housing in Vietnam. The metamorphoses of Social housing under the incessant action of the occupants to fit their needs testify to the tremendous spirit “getting by” of Vietnamese people. Have we taken enough time to stop and watch these living buildings that were all around us and today may disappear without a trace? Nguyen The Son and Tran Hau Yen The want to testify the poetry of Social housing and document this form of housing and lifestyle that is gradually disappearing from the urban landscape.
