On July 20th, the provincial Red Cross Society, Oxfam in Vietnam, and the New Zealand Embassy in Hanoi organized a summary workshop for the project “Post-COVID-19 livelihood recovery for female farmers in particularly difficult and for difficult communes in Thua Thien Hue.” The event was attended by Ms. Caroline Rachel Beresford, New Zealand Ambassador to Vietnam.

On July 18th, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Binh, had a courtesy meeting with H.E. Caroline Beresford, New Zealand Ambassador to Vietnam.

One rainy day in Hue, I received an elaborate and impressive design for artist Dang Mau Tuu’s upcoming painting exhibition in Hanoi. It is surprising because he recently had an exhibition “Aotearoa - a region of white clouds” at Hue Museum of Fine Arts in June 2023, after he had just returned from New Zealand. Four months later, he continued with his own exhibition titled “Specks of dust in life” in Hanoi with 20 works painted on acrylic. This is Dang Mau Tuu’s first solo exhibition in Hanoi.

The island nation of New Zealand through the perspective of Dang Mau Tuu, the artist, is not only beautiful but also very peaceful. All are conveyed via paintings through a long trip, with a lot of inspiration and energy by the artist.
