The exhibition, entitled “Net Xuan – Art of Nom” is to mark the 88th anniversary of the Vietnam Communist Party (February 3) and welcome the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival.

Calligrapher Pham Van Tuan delivers a brushwork performance at the opening ceremony of the exhibition on February 2 
Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Vuong Duy Bien lauded the organisation of the exhibition, saying that it offers a chance for the public to enjoy Vietnam’s traditional calligraphy art of the nation.

The works, inspired by poems of late renowned poets in Vietnam’s history, are written in Nom - the Chinese character-based Vietnamese script.

The event also features the brushwork performance and a calligraphy space for the community, where calligraphers teach children how to learn and write Nom scripts.

The event runs until March 2, except for the Tet festival from February 14-17.
