Photo Hanoi is an international photography biennial initiated by the French Institute in Vietnam under the aegis of the People’s Committee of Hanoi City. This project is the result of a collaboration between French and Vietnamese partners, with the support of a large number of  international partners. This new event dedicated to the exhibition and the photographic practice has the ambition to present during a little more than one month many activities in a significant number of places. This is to provide the widest possible audience the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the work of Vietnamese and international photographers through exhibitions or film screenings, to practice experimental or artistic practices, to meet photographers or curators to look at certain works through another prism.

Photo Hanoi aspires to become a focal point for local and international photographers, artists, researchers and art educators in Vietnam, encouraging multidimensional dialogue on the role of visual language in the contemporary context.
