Exhibition recounts daily life in Saigon

An exhibition titled “In a City” featuring stories, photographs and videos about everyday life in Saigon is now open at the Ho Chi Minh City Exhibition House.

The exhibition, held by the HCMC British Council, was inspired by James Joyce’s 1914 classic, “Dubliners,” a collection of 15 short stories about middle class life in the Irish capital city.

In 2009, an exhibition featuring 18 “stories” about Hanoi was also held in the Vietnamese capital.

For its part, the Saigon exhibition showcases 17 “stories” about HCMC at the turn of the 21st century as told by three teams of writers and photographers.

The “stories” are grouped into 6 topics: Coffee, Bach Dang Port, the Apartment, Acting Career, Upstream, and He and She.

The exhibition is open until March 24 at the HCMC Exhibition House, 92 Le Thanh Ton, District 1.
