Exhibition on lesbian couples to open in Hanoi
20/2/17
The Lo sang (Exposed) exhibition will open at 4pm on
February 21 at the Vietnam University of Fine Arts, 42 Yet Kieu Street.
This is a temporary exhibition on the theme
of lesbian couples, with the financial support of the American Embassy in
Vietnam and the Center for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender-Family-Women
and Adolescents (CSAGA), and technical support by Visual Artist Nguyen The Son.
The exhibition tells the stories of
more than 50 lesbians, and their efforts to overcome prejudice and violence in
pursuit of a happy and fulfilling life. The women presented in the exhibition
found themselves hiding their true feelings out of fear.
The exhibition will highlight the
coming-out process of lesbian couples from seven cities and provinces in
northern Vietnam. It will help visitors understand their struggle, and hope for
acceptance through the images, according to CSAGA.
The exhibition will run until March
