Cultural center of France in Hanoi - L’Espace, one of the most active international centers in Vietnam in creating cultural exchange events between Vietnam, France and other countries is bringing a hot Africa to Vietnam by an exhibition name “Being human”, which is expected to be unbelievably vivid.

The exhibition aims to provide a closer sight to audiences in Vietnam on culture of Africa, concentrating on ritual tradition of minor communities in this “Black Continentals”. This is the first time ever an expo on African culture has been held in Hanoi, with the mixture of sounds, visual materials such as videos and big-size photos, which create a truly African habitants right in the heart of Hanoi.
