From Unleashing Creativity Week:
The 40 artworks presented at “Phiêu Diêu” contributes to the celebration of the nation’s cultural values, especially those of Hanoi – the capital with a rich history. Nom poetry, Buddhist scriptures, traditional sayings, proverbs, idioms, are translated from the Nom script from the past to the present.
Contemporary calligraphy no longer only appears in fixed formats. The expression and presentation of Nom script in culture and literature, with dó paper as the background, is also rendered multifaceted with layers and colours. The visual and cultural effects will be the main highlight of the exhibition space. Symbols of traditional culture harmoniously combined with contemporary art culture will lend a modern touch to the artworks. Discourses interlaying discourses, arts interlaying arts, the pasts interlaying the pasts and interacting with the present, so that the piece is both the destination and the beginning of the journey of art, of culture rich in the Vietnamese identity.
