Vietnamese-origin artists in UK retain memories of homeland

Opened on April 19, the exhibition is the continuation of Vietnamese-origin artists’ journey to explore their homeland that started in 2022.

A large number of visitors from different groups and ages, especially young Vietnamese, have come to the event.

On display are items reflecting typical things, landscapes, and images of the past, traditional meals that connect family generations, and traditional foods deeply intertwined with the memory of Vietnam and the Vietnamese identity that parents want to pass down to future generations in the places they have settled down.

Visitors are greeted by a striking urban landscape installation constructed from Vietnamese plastic stools, highlighting the psychogeography of migrant populations.

The main room showcases object-based works on a low white table, inviting viewers to sit on bamboo carpets to engage with the works.

A space featuring a traditional-style altar of Vietnamese people also shows visitors a typical image of the country.

The exhibition that also includes many workshops, tea parties, and food sharing will last through July 11.

Vietnam defeat Laos 2-0 in 2023 SE Asian Games men’s football

Image
The Vietnamese, who won the gold medal in men’s football at the delayed 2021 SE Asian Games organized in Hanoi in May 2022, were expected to have an easy game, but they faced strong resistance from their Lao opponents and sometimes stayed in a deadlock at Prince Stadium in Phnom Penh. The junior Golden Stars got off to a great start in the second minute when Nguyen Van Tung headed the ball past Lao goalkeeper Solasak Thilavong into the net, following a good cross from Nguyen Thanh Nhan from the right side. With the early lead, coach Philippe Troussier’s team tried to reduce the match’s tempo, but moments of sloppy defending gave Laos some good chances. The remainder of the first half saw interesting back-and-forth attempts between the two teams.  Vietnam’s Nguyen Van Tung celebrates his opening goal in their match against Laos at the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Phnom Penh, April 30, 2023.
