STORY BEHIND “COLORS OF ASEAN” PHOTO SERIES

Recently, the Museum of Cultures of Vietnam's Ethnic Groups (Thai Nguyen City) opened the exhibition "Colors of ASEAN" by photographer Tran Tan Vinh from Dong A University (Da Nang city). The series includes 65 photos, introducing to the public the images of people and cultural beauty of ASEAN countries, highlighting the beauty as well as talent, creativity and great contributions of ASEAN countries and ASEAN women to the development of the society.
Photographer Tran Tan Vinh shared that the photo series was taken for a long time, mainly from the times he attended seminars on ASEAN countries and from his personal trips. These trips are often quite expensive, averaging around $1,000, but the benefits are worthy.
He liked most the photos taken in Myanmar, where there are women of the long neck and face tattoos ethnic groups, who made him extremely impressive.
In the next time, he plans to bring the photo series "Colors of ASEAN" to display in Laos.
The exhibition will take place from October 18 to 28, 2022. After the exhibition, photographer Tran Tan Vinh will donate the original set of photos and image files to the Museum of Cultures of Vietnam’s Ethnic Groups to continue displaying and exhibiting.
