For more information, please visit our Info Page About the name "TRACES OF THE HUNDRED VIETS" For thousands of years, the Vietnamese have been taught the mythology of being descendants of a dragon and a fairy whose union produced one hundred children. These mythical children dispersed to the mountains and to the seas. They became the ancestors of the modern Vietnamese. This myth teaches that the Vietnamese people are culturally diverse, but all share a common heritage. Now living all over the world, Vietnamese artists continue to preserve their heritage while adapting to new or changing environments. These artists are thriving in the modern art scene. They explore new media and travel far beyond the boundaries of traditional Vietnamese themes and media. Whether new or traditional, their arts still hint at the traces of the hundred Viets. |
