Photo Hanoi is Vietnam’s first international photography festival and biennale. This event transforms Hanoi’s most culturally significant spaces into vibrant hubs of photographic exploration, showcasing a diverse range of exhibitions and activities. By integrating these events into Hanoi’s rich architectural and historical settings, Photo Hanoi invites the local community to engage deeply with the art of photography.

The festival offers audiences an invaluable opportunity to not only experience the work of both Vietnamese and international photographers but to actively interact with the photographic process itself. Through immersive workshops, roundtable discussions, and hands-on activities, participants can explore different facets of photographic practice, from the technical to the conceptual. These interactive sessions allow emerging photographers, artists, and curators to exchange ideas, foster creative dialogue, and deepen their understanding of the craft. In doing so, Photo Hanoi builds bridges between artists and the public, nurturing a deeper appreciation for photography as a medium of expression and storytelling.
