Weekend in Hanoi: What to Do and Where to Go

Discover a fun and interesting weekend in Hanoi by participating in a range of events and activities including as art exhibits, market fairs, and seafood delights.

"The Weight of Things" is an exhibition.

Eddie Ryan, a design educator and photographer from London who presently lives and works in Vietnam, will have an exhibition "The Weight of Things" at Matca Space for Photography.

The images in the show depict the artist's personal and cultural journey as an emigrant forced to leave his home and adjust to a new society.

The title "The Weight of Things" relates to the emigrant's emotional and psychological load. The pictures depict commonplace goods that have been moved, are in limbo, or are being utilized as symbols of protection by migrants. They also expose the nuanced characteristics of a culture that relies on migrant labor, such as its laws, values, and aspirations.

It is open everyday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from June 29 to July 31. The event will take place at Matca Space for Photography, which is located at 48 Ngoc Ha Street in Hanoi's Ba Dinh District. Entry is free.

This important art show in Vietnam investigates the interaction between art and technology with the goal of understanding how technology influences our connections and perspectives.
