Vietnam wedding photo exhibition in Berlin
(VOV) - A photo exhibition showcasing 100 years of Vietnamese wedding opened in Berlin on February 8 to celebrate the Year of the Horse (2014).
The two-month event, hosted by Berlin’s Vietnamese women organisation VINAPHUNU, features more than 100 wedding photos ranging from those taken as early as 1919 to present day.
The photos, including those taken in former resistance war and occupied areas across the northern, central and southern regions, cover all social classes, from the aristocracy to soldiers, teachers, doctors, engineers, actors, workers, and students.
VINAPHUNU member Loos Nguyen Thi Hoai said the exhibition was prepared 2–3 years ago.
She said she hopes it offers visitors the chance to gain a better understanding of Vietnamese fashion, customs, and traditions throughout the 20th century.
VINAPHUNU recently organised gifts and raised funds for a Braille library project at Hanoi’s Nguyen Dinh Chieu School.
Founded in 1991, VINAPHUNU regularly hosts events and activities promoting Vietnam’s culture, land, and people in Germany. It has convened women’s rights seminars and organised a variety of artistic exhibitions and performances.
