Viet Nam News HÀ NỘI - An exhibition entitled Nói trong bóng tối (Speaking in the Dark) by two artists Trương Hồng Ân and Ngô Ngọc Hương will take place at Nhà Sàn Collective, Lương Yên Street, Hai Bà Trưng District on July 24.

In 2013, she received the sponsorship of Art Matters, along … [Read more...] about Show by two artists on memory and voice
