From the organizer:
As part of the activities within the grand exhibition Hanoi Children’s Palace: Nostalgia for the Future at the Hanoi Festival of Creative Design 2024, the Chèo méo exhibition is organized by Tohe Social Enterprise, which creates a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for children on the autism spectrum and those with special needs. The exhibition showcases individual works by children on the spectrum, while also capturing interactions between the children, their families, visual artists, and audience members who participate directly in the creative process.
The name of the exhibition, “Chèo méo” is the Vietnamese phonetic representation of a sound created by Minh, a young boy with autism, during Tohe’s art practice class. Everyday language and social conventions pose many challenges for children with special needs. Each individual finds unique ways to express themselves, whether through behavior, sound, or imagery, using these as raw materials for art. In this context, art becomes a substitute language, connecting children with their environment: family, community, and society. Held during the Hanoi Festival of Creative Design 2024 at the Children’s Palace, Cheo Meo offers a multi-dimensional perspective in the broader dialogue about the memories and future of culture and art in the lives of Hanoi residents, as well as the role of art in today’s social development.
Exhibition with the participation of young artists Van Minh Duc, Pham Duc Viet, Tran Nguyen Binh, Nguyen Tien Hoang, Nguyen The Phuong, Pham Khoi Nguyen, Lee Nguyen Saehae, Dao Kim Thach, Dinh Dang Long, Vu Nhat Tien , Do Duy Son, Ta Nhat Minh, Nguyen Khanh Huyen, Vu Tue Giang, Le Thuy Dung, Nguyen Le Mai Khanh, Nguyen Le Bao Linh, Pham Binh Minh, Ha Dinh Chi, Pham Nhat Minh, Vu Hai Phong and their companions of family; with artists To Kim Nhung, Le Tu Anh, and Mai Chi.
Chèo méo is part of the Hanoi Children’s Palace activities: Nostalgia for the Future, within the framework of the Hanoi Festival of Creative Design 2024 from November 9-17, 2024. Curator: Trinh Ngan Hanh, Organizer: Tohe Social Enterprise, Sponsor: Goethe-Institut Hanoi.
