From L’Espace:

You are invited to the round-table discussion entitled: “Window – A strange Look on the Familiar Hanoi”, with the participation of Ta Huy Long, illustrator and author of the book, and Nguyen Hoang Dieu Thuy, publisher.

“Window”, the latest work of Ta Huy Long – one of the leading comic illustrators in Viet Nam – tells the story of Hanoi some decades ago when Trang Tien Miscellaneous Goods Store was still open, electric trains still tinkled on the streets, and bicycle was the main transportation of Hanoians. The mischievous, ambiguous paintings which bear the metaphor of re-birth and life transformation, flashing by as fast as a dream in their busy lives will take the audience to a familiar, yet strange Hanoi as it was a few decades ago.

Language: Vietnamese

Free entry.
