Photo exhibition tells stories about life along Mekong River’s banks
Wednesday, April 5,2023
AsemconnectVietnam - The Da Nang Fine Arts Museum, in collaboration with the French Embassy and the French Institute in the central city of Da Nang, opened a photo exhibition featuring the life of people living and earning livelihoods in the Mekong River area.
The exhibition, which remains open to visitors to April 15, is among the activities in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam-France diplomatic ties, and the 10th anniversary of the bilateral strategic partnership.
On display are 28 photos by photographer Lam Duc Hien, a French Vietnamese who was born and grew up along the banks of the Mekong River in Laos.
Since childhood, Hien, born in 1966, has developed a close attachment to the river. He has travelled the river over a 4,200-km stretch, following its waters from the bustling river delta in Vietnam all the way to its source in the snow-covered Tibetan plateau.
Hien has won numerous awards, including the Leica Prize, the Great European Award of the city of Vevey, and the World Press Photo, among others./.
