Entitled “A love letter to...”, the event was organised by the Vietnamese Students Association in the UK (SVUK) and the Vietnamese professionals community in the UK (VietPro) in an attempt to introduce Vietnamese artistic talents, develop a Vietnamese art-loving community in the host country while promoting the S-shaped country's culture and arts to British and international friends.
The programme comprised six themes, including love, gratitude, togetherness, home, forgiveness and family with 20 rich and unique art works performed by Vietnamese students and expats living and working in the UK.
The event was expected to strengthen solidarity in the Vietnamese community, while spreading the values and beauty of Vietnamese culture to international friends.
