Hanoi (VNA) - A wide range of activities will be held in the framework of the Hanoi Creative Design Festival 2023 slated to take place from November 17 – 26, which aims to promote creative resources in the capital city.

The event will be jointly organised by the municipal People’s Committee, the Architecture Magazine under the Vietnam Association of Architects, and the municipal Department of Culture and Sports with the support of UNESCO Office in Hanoi, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), international organisations, businesses, creators and artists.

Themed “Flow”, the event aims to spotlight the Red River, which is considered a vital thread connecting historical, cultural, socio-economic values of the capital city.

The programme will include a "heritage flow" photo exhibition, an exhibition showcasing creative architectural works, experiential and creative activities, and art performances.

In addition, there will also be creative activities at cultural heritage sites and traditional craft villages in the city.

The festival will offer visitors a chance to experience creative spaces along a route connecting the Old Quarter, the pedestrian streets around Hoan Kiem Lake, Hang Dau Water Tower, Long Bien Railway Station, Long Bien Bridge, Gia Lam Railway Station, and Gia Lam Train Factory.

It is intended to promote the formation of creative communities, and strengthen connectivity among different sectors such as architecture, fine arts, performing arts, and design, thus forming creative platforms to uphold the cultural resources of Hanoi./.
