Nostalgia for cities, curated by Nguyen The Son, marks the opening of the Photo Hanoi ’25 at 22 Hang Buom, Hanoi—once the Canton Assembly Hall—now a thriving cultural and artistic hub. This collective exhibition features works by 31 talented Vietnamese and international photographers and visual artists.
Inspired by the concept of cities as living organisms, the exhibition portrays urban spaces as dynamic entities that constantly evolve, shaped by the collective memories of their inhabitants. Building on Hanoi – A city in photography from Photo Hanoi ’23, it explores how memory and nostalgia influence a place’s identity through diverse photographic lenses. The works span from iconic metropolises to lesser-known cities, transforming them into repositories of hidden memories.
Nostalgia for cities underscores photography’s ability to revive forgotten moments and forge emotional connections with viewers. By fostering dialogue between global urban landscapes, it highlights their unique cultures and histories. The exhibition invites audiences to reflect on their personal ties to cities, encouraging them to cherish and preserve their own urban memories within a venue where art and history converge.
