Maya Gallery (Singapore) and Chau & Co Gallery (Vietnam) are proud to present Huu Nghi: Singapore & Vietnam 50-10 Exhibition, a celebration of cultural unity and diplomatic partnership. Held at the prestigious Vietnam Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi from September 9th to 14th, 2023, this landmark event commemorates the significant milestones of the 50th anniversary of bilateral relations between Singapore and Vietnam, and the 10th anniversary of their strategic partnership.

Themed "Huu Nghi," which means "friendship" in Vietnamese, this exhibition is more than just a showcase of art. It is a testament to the enduring bonds and spirit of cooperation that have united these two nations. With the theme of friendship and cooperation at its core, the exhibition delves into the shared cultural heritage, values, and aspirations that bind Singapore and Vietnam together.

Experience the creative expressions of both Vietnamese and Singaporean artists as they explore their unique interpretations of people, culture, lifestyles, and the built environment. Through an array of captivating artworks, the exhibition presents a profound dialogue between two cultures, celebrating the beauty of diversity and shared experiences.
