Exhibition “The Crossing of Disaster”

Galerie Quynh

118 Nguyen Van Thu, Dakao, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – Galerie Quynh is pleased to present “The crossing of disaster”, a solo exhibition by François Andes, curated by Luiz Gustavo Carvalho.

Conceived in 2016 and expanded upon during two periods of artistic residence in Vietnam between 2018 and 2019 at Villa Saigon, this project features an ensemble of works: drawings, animation, sculptures, costumes, masks, and musical compositions commissioned from acclaimed composers Samir Odeh-Tamimi (Palestine/Israel) and Sérgio Rodrigo (Brazil).

The conference gathered together delegates from ministries, sectors, southern localities, and international organisations such as IOM, the International Labour Organisation, and UN Women.

Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City’s People’s Committee Ngo Minh Chau said that workers of Vietnam in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular have contributed to the development of many countries and regions in the word via various forms of migration.

The GCM is an effort to manage migration effectively and reduce risk at a global level to make migration a driving force for cooperation and development among nations.

In his remarks, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs To Anh Dung said Vietnam’s implementation plan for the GCM sets forth inclusive and comprehensive solutions to current international migration issues, with gender and sustainability development matters fully taken into account.

This is a strong stride forward by Vietnam in international cooperation in migration, he said, demonstrating the country’s commitment to and sense of responsibility for maintaining and consolidating a transparent and safe migration environment, for sustainable development.

Park Mi-hyung, Chief of Mission at IOM Vietnam, said Vietnam has gained remarkable achievements in implementing the GCM and protecting migrants. According to her, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted severely upon global migration and migrants are the most affected group.

Vietnam approved the GCM in December 2018. The Prime Minister signed a decision on March 20, 2020 on the issuance of an implementation plan, which puts forth such major tasks as promoting communications work, collecting information and data on international migration, perfecting policies and laws, studying migration policies, and boosting international cooperation in the field.

Departing from the Youth Cultural House in District 1, participants rode their bicycles with banners, flags and T-shirts printed with propaganda slogans for the Earth Hour campaign. They travelled across the city along three routes to mobilise the people to use electricity economically and encourage the use of clean and renewable energy.

In addition, volunteers were engaged in challenge games on environmental protection at famous destinations in the city, such as Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens, the President Ho Chi Minh Statue, Thi Nghe Bridge, the Ho Chi Minh City Post Office, the Nha Rong Wharf, and the Municipal Theatre (Saigon Opera House).

Together with activities in Ho Chi Minh City, the Earth Hour campaign has also received strong support from neighbouring localities and a large number of online volunteers who have helped spread the programme to 63 cities and provinces nationwide and connect it with nearly 200 countries around the world.

All aforementioned activities aim to look towards the major event “Celebrating 10 years of Vietnam’s Earth Hour – Joining hands in turning off lights globally”, scheduled tonight (March 27) at the Youth Cultural House, AEON Mall Binh Tan, and Hoan Cau Hotel. The programme is expected to attract the participation of more than 2,000 youths and local people from across the city.
