Humans of Hanoi hold first show
Humans of Hanoi, the popular spin off from the original project Humans of New York, is holding its first exhibition.
A simple concept, the exhibition is by turns surprising, moving and inspiring.
Through the Windows of Life, which opened on June 15, is expected to share many of the stories of people of Hanoi and invite viewers to become part of it.
"We hope to capture 1,000 photos by the end of this year. Each person and their story represents a colour in society," said Tran Quang Tuan, head of the Freely team which created the project.
"Seven million people here are seven million colours of different tones. When combined, they create a diversified picture of the city," said Tuan.
The non-profit photo project began late last year by a group of six young people, all born after 1990. Months of non-stop working has resulted in over 400 photos being made public through its Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/humansofhanoiand now on display.
The exhibition will feature ordinary and modest moments in the life of Hanoi residents and those passers-by, including foreigners.
